The final concert of Nadia Sirota's Fuse Project residency showcases the world premiere of Tesellatum for viola, viol consort, and electronics by Irish composer Donnacha Dennehy (co-commissioned by Symphony Space). The program also features pieces by members of the Bedroom Community, including Nico Muhly and Valgeir Sigurðsson. Sirota is joined on stage by Liam Byrne, Valgeir Sigurðsson, Nico Muhly, and friends.
From the Curator
"The world premiere of Tessellatum, a new 40-minute work by Donnacha Dennehy for four bass viols, solo viola, and backing track. Liam, Donnacha, and I recently got back from Iceland where we just finished recording this piece. All of the sounds in the work are acoustic, and yet, because Donnacha likes to slip back and forth between equal temperament and "just" intonation, which uses the harmonic series to build up timbre and harp on resonance, the piece feels almost electronic. These moments of slipping in and "out-of-tune" effectively un-moor the ear
