earspace ensemble performs Hans Abrahamsen’s “Schnee”

The fragile, crystalline sound world of Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen's Schnee (“Snow”) must be heard in person to appreciate this work’s bewitching beauty – as pure as the driven snow. Schnee, well on its way to achieving iconic status as an early-21st-century masterpiece, will be given its Columbia premiere by the extraordinary earspace, a group of ten exemplary young artists including USC flute graduate Philip Snyder. The work will be introduced in an interactive presentation by USC professor and public music theory pioneer J. Daniel Jenkins.
