Vicky Chow & Mivos Quartet perform Morton Feldman’s ‘Piano and String Quartet’
About This Event
Pianist Vicky Chow and the Mivos Quartet perform Morton Feldman’s Piano and String Quartet at Roulette. A central figure of the New York School associated with indeterminacy, Feldman's notational experiments produce free, floating rhythms, soft pitch shadings and slow evolution; this chamber setting directly realizes those techniques.
