New Music at the Atlas: Deviant Septet

06/02/2012 20:00, Atlas Performing Arts Center

The mission of the Deviant Septet is to fulfill the vision Igor Stravinsky had for his “L’histoire du Soldat” ensemble. By commissioning modern composers, the Deviant Septet will complete its primary goal of creating a repertoire for this unique ensemble which is otherwise nearly non-existent. With a roster of highly versatile and experienced chamber musicians, who are also some of America’s foremost contemporary and avant-garde classical music interpreters, the ensemble hopes to attract a renewed interest in the modern chamber music idiom. Through the use of multi-media performances, audience interaction, unique venues, and unusual repertoire and programming choices, the Deviant Septet aims to redefine the modern concert experience.
