It can be said that we live in an age where ‘regionalism’, in regards to art music, is a designation that no longer carries the weight that it once did. The world has become a much bigger, more diverse and integrated place. And yet, there is still something quite unique and extraordinary about so much of the music coming out of Northeast Ohio. We wanted to present a program that reflected this. With that in mind, No Exit launched their 2014-2015 concert season by shining a spotlight on the works of living composers from the Cleveland area, which included the debut of two world premiere pieces – Late Spring by Eric M.C. Gonzalez and Christopher Auerbach-Brown’s Interlude for solo piano.
