Hotel Elefant (Chamber Group from NYC)
Spontaneous Combustion New Music Festival presents an afternoon of new music by living composers, featuring members of the composer collective Hotel Elefant from New York City.
Hotel Elefant is a contemporary music ensemble dedicated to the works of innovative living composers. Founded by composers Leaha Maria Villarreal and Mary Kouyoumdjian, Hotel Elefant brings an awareness of todays music to the general public through commissions, performances, and moderated discussions between composers, performers, and audiences. Committed to modern sounds and sonic explorations, this audacious and unafraid (New Music Box) ensemble highlights living composers who are blurring lines, pushing boundaries, and fostering creativity. With a flexible roster of musicians, Hotel Elefant works closely with a broad spectrum of progressive artists including John Luther Adams, Richard Carrick, Michael Gordon, David T. Little, Angélica Negrón, and Chinary Ung. Past performances include Lincoln Center, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Bang on a Can Marathon; collaborations with Kronos Quartet and The Nouveau Classical Project; partnerships with BalletCollective, Experiments in Opera, and Ear Heart Music; and a debut Carnegie Hall performance praised by The New York Times as deeply felt.
Hotel Elefant is being represented on a 10 day west coast tour by a mixed chamber quartet of Flute, Clarinet, Violin and Cello. They will be performing the music of Kaija Saariaho and 5 new works by composer members Hannis Brown, Patrick Castillo, Jascha Narveson, Kirsten Volness and Leaha Maria Villarreal.
This concert is also part of the Sunset Music / Arts Series
