Strings take center stage in this program of extended-duration works. Unnameable Strings perform an eponymous piece by ensemble members Ana Luisa Diaz de Cossio and Jennifer Gersten, scored for four violins, viola, three cellos, and bass. Zosha Warpeha performs Basalt on the Hardanger d’Amore, a Norwegian instrument with five bowed and five sympathetic strings, joined by co-composer Tristan Kasten-Krause on contrabass. Composer/cellist Laura Raquel Cetilia performs her Layers Turn Liquid with cellist Julie Kim, plus Marilyn Nonken and Taka Kigawa on pianos. Nonken and Kigawa join violinist Conrad Harris for the final piece, Bunita Marcus’s Two Pianos and Violin.
