Fridays with 45th Parallel – Workers Union

May 21, 2021 @ 6:00 pm

Free Donations accepted.

Virtual Concert

“The idea is to have music that suggests people shouting at a political rally.”
– Louis Andriessen

This week we feature two brilliant pieces by Scandinavian composers Magnus Lindberg and Louis Andriessen. Lindberg’s evocative Clarinet Quintet is a tour de force of virtuosity, and features clarinetist James Shields, violinists Ron Blessinger and Emily Cole, violist Charles Noble, and cellist Marilyn de Oliveira.

Written for “…any loud-sounding group of instruments”, Workers Union by Dutch composer Louis Andriessen springs from his political idealism, his challenge of the status quo, and his belief in struggle.
