At the center of Professor Claire Chase’s creative work is her Density 2036 commissioning project to build a new repertory for the flute—“one of the great musical undertakings of our time, a singular project by a singular artist” (The New York Times). Co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall and composed by one of today’s most captivating composers, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, UBIQUE (2023) is the tenth edition of Chase’s 24-year initiative. Hear the Boston premiere of this new evening-length work performed by Chase in collaboration with the cellists Katinka Kleijn and Seth Parker Woods and the pianist Cory Smythe.
