Brooklyn based MIVOS quartet, described as an “excellent ensemble” (Time Out New York), presents a program of musical extremes.  In an evening of continuous music, a serene landscape of works by Guillaume de Machaut and György Kurtag will be punctuated by the brutal neo-romanticism of Wolfgang Rihm and young American composer Ashley Wang.  Lushly orchestrated works by East-Coast new music fixtures Missy Mazzoli and Anna Clyne will complete the spectrum.  Missy Mazzoli’s band Victoire played at Most Wanted Fine Arts this past august with a full set of her compositions. Her string quartet Death Valley Junction will be a Pittsburgh premiere. Of her compositions, Mazzoli says, “like most of my music, these pieces are really about transporting the listener to a dreamy and unfamiliar but very specific place.”
