Five unique composers and five outstanding works in Between Tides kick off the 18th season of challenging and innovative music making for newEar contemporary chamber ensemble on Saturday, September 11 at 8pm at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 4501 Walnut, Kansas City, MO.

Come experience the virtuosity of our elite band of musicians, as piquant timbres collide with beguiling textures in vivid episodes of beauty and drama. A seldom-heard gem from cross-cultural icon Tõru Takemitsu and a brilliant new piece from newEar Composers’ Competition student winner Peiying Yuan anchor this audaciously colorful program.

echo, shadows by Edward Jacobs (for piano and fixed media)
Five Elements (for flute, clarinet, violin, cello and piano) by Peiying Yuan
