Check out our interview with composer Steven Mackey about his commissioned work for our "Mahler 100 / Schoenberg 60 Project," to receive it world premiere performances on May 11 & 15, 2011. Steve's work is a song entitled "Herr Gutmann," a setting of a letter from Gustav Mahler to his concert manager Emil Gutmann. It's scored for bass-baritone, to be sung by Eric Owens, and Pierrot ensemble of flute, clarinet/bass clarinet, violin, cello, piano, and percussion.

Sneak score peek!
Hello friends,
We're busy rehearsing the new works we'll be premiering at our "Mahler 100 / Schoenberg 60 Project" concerts on May 11 & 15. The pieces by Steven Mackey, Steven Stucky, Fang Man, David Ludwig, and Stratis Minakakis are terrific! It's quite a thrill when you hear a commissioned piece for the first time.
Here's a sneak peek at the first page of the score of Steven Stucky's "Aus der Jugendzeit," his setting of a poem by Friedrich Rückert.
