Cellist Matt Haimovitz

Cellist Matt Haimovitz A sequel to his 50-State solo cello tour and recording, Anthem, released in 2003, Figment is a return to Haimovitz's signature solo set, embracing the musical communities of his two home countries, the US and Canada. Inspired by centenarian composer Elliott Carter and his two Figments for solo cello, the new program br...ings together a wide range of important new music for cello and electronics by leading and emerging North American composers. From the Middle Eastern microtones of Gilles Tremblay's Threnody for Lebanon to Ana Sokolovic's Balkan folk-influenced Vez, from Serge Provost's cutting-edge Les Vertiges de S. for electronically-processed solo cello to up and coming composer/songstress Du Yun's San, a deconstruction of haunting ancient Chinese fragments, Figment embraces the diversity of our collective experience. The program, which also includes music by Steven Stucky, Luna Pearl Woolf, Christopher Rouse, and composer/producer Socalled, celebrates innovative North American composers who seek a renewed lyricism and epitomize a new era of hope and creativity in the face of challenging times.
