PROGRAM
The Music of Sofia Gubaidulina,
Performed by International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE)
Sofia Gubaidulina (b. 1931) has earned her place among the great living composers. Her singular sound is characterized by a love of unusual sonorities and a deep-seated belief in the mystical properties of music. Quietly encouraged by Shostakovich to boldly pursue what the Soviet establishment perceived as the "wrong course" musically, she fled to Germany, where she cultivated her passion for the avant-garde. This program features a variety of her chamber works, written in both Moscow and Hamburg.

- Sonatina (1978), for solo flute
- Dancer On a Tightrope (1993), for violin and piano
- The Garden of Joy and Sorrow (1980), for flute, cello, and harp
- Quasi Hoquetus (1984), for bassoon, viola, and piano
- Meditation on the Bach Chorale "Vor deinem Thron tret ich hiermit" (1993), for Harpsichord and String Quartet
