The Bardian Ensemble presents a transfixing and engaging performance of “A Gift,” the composition by Joan Tower featuring Laura Flax, Marka Gustavsson, Julie Landsman, Blair McMillen, and Raman Ramakrishnan.
Multiple Grammy Award Winner Joan Tower is widely regarded as one of the most important American composers living today. During a career spanning more than 50 years, she has made lasting contributions to music as a composer, performer, conductor, and educator. Tower’s compositions have been commissioned by countless ensembles, orchestras, music schools, and conservatories all over the world.
This project, curated by the Bard College Conservatory of Music, is undoubtedly a must-witness performance as this ensemble radiates a natural alliance and understanding of the impact their interpretation holds.
I would give this film 5 out of 5 stars.
