A program of Chicago “firsts.” A recent work by Australian composer Brett Dean, Old Kings in Exile is a “masterly achievement” (Daily Telegraph) and co-commissioned by the Nash Ensemble, the Australia Ensemble and eighth blackbird. Performed by the pioneering Anubis Quartet, Lei Liang’s work for saxophone quartet is “a 15-minute tour de force: a dense example of profound cross-culturalism.” (James Keller, Chamber Music Magazine)
