Long Distance Call

Laura Rose Schwartz - New Work for Distanced Soprano, Flute, Cello, and Piano

Ryan Suleiman - New Work for Distanced Soprano, Flute, Cello, and Piano

George Lewis - Emergent flute and live electronics

Louise Farrenc - Trio for Flute, Cello and Piano, Op. 45

Responding to the safety measures required in the pandemic, Left Coast has commissioned new works conceived as long distance conversations between a piano trio and a soprano. Laura Rose Schwartz and Ryan Suleiman will each write a new work, using a call and response model: the singer and ensemble alternate in sending each other musical postcards! Music by Frederic Rzewski, George Lewis, and Louise Farrenc completes the program.
