Tied Together is a collaboration between Hub New Music and Silkroad’s Kojiro Umezaki (shakuhachi). The program features five new works for Hub and shakuhachi by composers of the Asia/America New Music Institute that create dialogues between Eastern and Western musical traditions. In their works, composers Takuma Itoh, Angel Lam, Sun-Young Park, Chad Cannon, and Umezaki reflect on concepts of musical influence and ancestry to create a program of vividly colorful and imaginative new compositions.
