About this Performance
The ever-inventive Icelandic musician Daníel Bjarnason has an uncanny composer voice that Time Out New York describes as “coming eerily close to defining classical music’s undefinable brave new world.” Bjarnason leads the LA Phil New Music Group in two premieres: Israeli American composer Chaya Czernowin’s NO! and his own new cycle Hands on Me for soprano and ensemble.
This performance is generously supported by Raulee Marcus and the Marcus Fund for New Music.
