about

GLASS FARM ENSEMBLE

When we began playing together in pianist YvonneTroxler’s loft on the far Westside of Manhattan, the goal was to invite audiences into intimate contact with the cast breadth of music that interested us, and share our passion for this music. The idea of music up-close has animated the group ever since, and this album is very much a product of that.

Unlike some “new music,”the compositions here are those that challenge us to express a resonant passion, freedom and love for making music. The ensemble’s line-up was initiated by Louis Andriessen’s Hout, a piece we have been performing together for years, and one whose qualities could be said to define our aesthetic: driving, rhythmic, intense, and rigorous. Besides Hout, all of the works on this program were written for the Glass Farm Ensemble, and speak to the range of our interests. The composers are a European-American mix, and their music embraces all manner of sounds, ideas and styles.

While each of the pieces is distinct, and cannot be said to characterize any one school or approach to music, the unique instrumentation of the ensemble itself gives them a strong identity.
