On Monday, June 30, immerse yourself in the joy of contrasting concepts with PostClassical Music Ensemble. Music Director Ángel Gil-Ordóñez and a hand-selected group of musicians explore the realms between antiquity and modernity; intricacy and simplicity; passion and precision as they present "Stravinsky and Bartok: The Language of Folk and Modernism." PostClassical Ensemble presents Netanel Draiblate, concertmaster; David Jones, principal clarinet; and Audrey Andrist, principal pianist. They will perform works for solo, duo and trio highlighting Bartok's unique combination of modern musical languages with the folk music of eastern Europe, concluding with Stravinsky's delightful trio version of A Soldier's Tale, with guest narration by William Cooke.

What people are saying

So many thanks for that most inspiring, capacious evening. With PCE’s usual ability to surprise and delight… that symphony was astonishing…

Kate

Your leadership and dramatic shaping of the Symphony last night was truly masterful - and so inspiring. I know I’ll never forget this experience. Thank you, Maestro!

Chris

I loved the intimacy of the ensemble and the aching beauty of the melody repeating and recurring and turning up where I did not expect it . And I found the quality of the sound thrilling.

That was my take on the concert --that and the tears that it brought to my eyes, simply to be there, to be present at the creation of something so beautiful..

Michaele

What a perfect PCE evening, wonderful concert and lovely gathering

Liz

Angel, You are so musical! I've played the 4th twice, it was the first Mahler I heard as a kid, and I'm invariably disappointed that conductors don't let it breathe. U nailed it.

David

Congratulations again to you and your superb ensemble on a wonderful and provocative performance in the Terrace Theater last evening. As always, we learned something from this concert and it was fun, too.

Alec

Everything about it was sheer delight, including the lively and interesting talk at the end…
