Press
A new journey begins
“…Her piece’s short motifs bounced from one side of the stage to another, gradually taking listeners’ ears
off to a lyrical and often distant world. Performers’ personal interpretations, musical imagination, and
sensibilities delivered the poetic verses in the score. Misha Vitenson gently underlined these emotional
states with violin drones accompanied by Laura Sherman’s unobtrusive yet warm passages. They led the
audience to the lowercase aesthetic and von Wrangell’s music essence, delivered through flutist Dmytro
Gnativ’s breath without flute sounds, and Karli Viña’s vibraphone resonance filled the ether at
Wertheim.”
