Experience a captivating musical journey with "Rhythm," featuring a diverse array of compositions that transport you to various rhythmic soundscapes.

Che Buford's piece, as “if it were a scene made up by my mind, that is not mine, but is a made place”, showcases the clarinet, violin, cello, and piano in a mesmerizing exploration of sound and emotion. Next, immerse yourself in Béla Bartók's Contrasts, a vibrant work that unfolds in three movements: Verbunkos (Recruiting Dance), Pihenő (Relaxation), and Sebes (Fast Dance), each offering a unique glimpse into Hungarian folk traditions. Adding to the program, Wang Lu's Aftertouch for flute and electronics invites listeners into a soundscape that blurs the lines between acoustic and electronic music. Finally, Shawn E. Okpebholo's Harlem Dance Hall: The Savoy features a lively ensemble of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano, bringing the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance to life in a celebration of rhythm and joy.
