Moscow Contemporary Music Ensemble will perform live at Garage Library as part of the Quiet, Please program of chamber music concerts.
The performance at the library entitled Quiet, Please will include a variety of music pieces that explore silence in the context of both sound and performative mediums. Solo compositions will intermingle with scores written for ensembles, encompassing a stylistically vast panorama of compositional practice, from medieval to contemporary music.
