Chicago’s acclaimed Music in the Loft series showcases chamber music’s stars of tomorrow. Composers in the Loft presents five diverse works – four in world premiere recordings – by the series’ former composers-in-residence: Ricardo Lorenz’s Afro-Cuban flavored Bachangó for solo piano; Carter Pann’s eclectic Differences for cello and piano; Pierre Jalbert’s in turns rhythmically driven and mysterious Trio for violin, cello, and piano; Stacy Garrop’s String Quartet No. 2: Demons and Angels, tracing a true-life descent into madness and murder; and Vivian Fung’s Miniatures for clarinet and string quartet, inspired by the music of China’s Uighur people.
