More Information:

Renegade Dutch composer Louis Andriessen pushes his students to go in unpredictable directions. In this program, we hear a New York premiere of his own—a string orchestra piece with a special twist—as well as premieres by composers he has influenced, each with differing sounds that range from rapturous and offbeat to downright raucous.
