The award-winning ensemble presents brilliant, arresting new music from Canada scarcely heard on this side of the border. This program focuses on the younger generations, offering the unique voices of native-born and immigrant composers, including the Continuum commission, Blind Flower, by Farangis Nurulla-Khoja. Internationally renowned Continuum, directed by Cheryl Seltzer and Joel Sachs, is one of the country’s leading new-music ensembles and a frequent guest of Music of the Americas. Continuum’s signature Retrospective Series has been a key part of New York’s musical life for over forty years and has been praised for introducing New York to unknown extraordinary composers from around the world. Continuum has recorded on several labels and is broadcast extensively by national and European media outlets. Visit http://as.americas-society.org/calevent.php?id=636 for information and reservations.
