Description
The World Made Larger is when the season closes the way it should: with something that has never been heard before. A world premiere by composer Elizabeth Younan anchors an evening alongside works that have shaped Rabia Brooke’s musical life – pieces from the canon that illuminate what Younan’s new work is in conversation with, and what it moves beyond.
Younan’s voice is one that rewards close attention: intricate, luminous, and built on the conviction that music should expand what we are capable of feeling. The violin repertoire grows one work at a time, each premiere a small act of faith that what is written today will matter tomorrow.
This is an evening about arrival – the arrival of a new work into the world, and the particular kind of attention that only live music, in a room like this, can ask of us.
