Join us as we start our voyage into Season 27!

Next, we are excited to premiere CMW cellist Adrienne Taylor’s quartet Lullabies in which Adrienne reimagines two lullabies her mother sang to her as a child and one wholly new one that follows the stages of a young child falling asleep. The MWC musicians come together to close the program with the spirited and richly-hued Estampas Nocturnas by composer Manuel Ponce, with each movement portraying a different characteristic of nighttime.

MusicWorks Collective: Winter Meditation
2024-01-13 16:00 - 17:30 | United Congregation Church of Little Compton, 1 Commons, Little Compton, Rhode Island
Join us for an afternoon of meditative music, including a world premiere piece by composer and former CMW Resident Musician Laura Cetilia and works by Swiss composer and clarinetist Jürg Frey and German composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
MusicWorks Collective presents a performance of three works for string quartet that in different ways bring us toward the devotional and aspirational qualities of being human. In the premiere of the newly commissioned work counterglow, composer (and former CMW resident musician) Laura Cetilia takes the audience on a 10-minute journey from the cosmos to the earth and back again, illuminating the journey through her compositional technique of hearing every point on the length of a violin, viola, or cello string. Laura quotes from artist Yayoi Kusama, who describes polka dots as invitations to the otherworldly: “Our earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos.”
Laura has long been inspired by the Wandelweiser Collective musicians, including Swiss composer Jürg Frey, whose Third Quartet is a quiet durational meditation slowly progressing through several iconic chords. In his article about the Wandelweiser Collective New Yorker, music writer Alex Ross says that “in much of Frey’s music achingly Romantic harmonies drift to and fro, as if a Mahler Adagio were suspended in zero gravity.”
The program ends with the slow movement from the late Beethoven a minor quartet, Op. 132 “Heiliger Dankesang“ which the composer wrote during his recovery from what could have been a life-threatening illness. This “Holy Song of Thanksgiving from a Convalescent to the Divinity” has been a lodestar for many musicians and music lovers, alternating between reverent stillness and spectrally celebratory music.
We look forward to sharing this wonderous music of contemplation and hope in the darkness of these winter days and amidst the backdrop of the struggling world.

For the final movement, we’ll invite our CMW students to gather in the Performance Hall to hear their teachers perform and become the very first audience members in the new space!
For this 15-minute finale, parents, community members, and other visitors can support the students’ first-listen experience from just outside the Hall, or via screens situated outdoors and in the cafe. Then, we’ll open the hall for a reprise MusicWorks Collective performance of the final movement so that the entire community gets a chance to appreciate the special acoustics and atmosphere of the central performance space.
