Helmut Lachenmann is one of the most important composers working in Europe today; his music challenges our received notions of culture via stunning reconceptions of traditional forms, materials, and even the musicians' instruments. This program showcases some of his most powerful chamber music, including Allegro Sostenuto, for clarinet, cello, and piano, and Salut für Caudwell, for guitar duo. Guest performers include Geoffrey Gartner (cello), Derek Keller (guitar), and Colin McAllister (guitar).
