The 9th Regular Concert,2024
This concert was entitled “The limits and possibilities of wind and percussion ensembles: Post-Schoenberg aspects” and featured a program centered around Arnold Schoenberg, 150 years after his birth. The organizers’ intention was to offer programming that emphasized the genealogy and development of works with high musical value. In addition, the concert featured the world premiere of a commissioned work and collaboration with electronic music, in order to expand the repertoire for wind and percussion, and also improve and revitalize the creative drive of composers.
