“Ephemeral” is Shoko Nagai’s new grant-commissioned work. The project explores the elastic sense of space and time influenced by Japanese Noh theater and Gakaku musical form. This piece combines 21st century music and free improvisation to create a wide range of sound texture. This is the NY concert premiere.
