This week, ELI­SION En­sem­ble will be in res­i­dence at Har­vard Uni­ver­sity, cul­mi­nat­ing on Sat­ur­day 17 May in a con­cert of new music by grad­u­ate com­posers at Har­vard that will also in­clude the US première of Richard Bar­rett’s Lens, for flugel­horn and elec­tric lap-steel gui­tar.

En­sem­bles that un­der­take their work and per­form with the in­tegrity and in­ten­sity of ELI­SION are rare, so it will be an eye-open­ing ex­pe­ri­ence hav­ing them here. My short ex­per­i­ment for them is for elec­tric lap-steel gui­tar and a strange quin­tet of oboe, bass clar­inet, con­tra­bass clar­inet, trum­pet and trom­bone. Come along on Sat­ur­day to hear more!
