Kaija SAARIAHO<\/strong>, one of Finland\u2019s leading composers today, opens the concert with her evocative work Lichtbogen<\/em> (1986). The title was inspired by the Northern Lights, and it marks her foray into new compositional territories at the famous Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique\/Musique (IRCAM) in Paris, a groundbreaking research lab where cutting edge technology meets music.<\/p>\n Singaporean composer Emily KOH<\/strong> is currently Assistant Professor of Composition at the University of Georgia, and also a proud alumnus from YST. Her work trans-[migra].nation<\/em> (2010) was written in memory of Dr. Steven BAXTER, our Founding Director of YST and this year marks the 10th anniversary of his passing.<\/p>\n Lastly, Paul HINDEMITH<\/strong>\u2018s Kammermusik No. 1, op. 24<\/em> (1922) marks an impressive entrance of the enfant terrible of German music at the famous Donaueschingen Music Festival, where he challenges his traditions and broke new grounds by combining machine-like insistent rhythms, popular dance music, and even sardonic humor, such as closing the work with a police siren!<\/p>\n This event will be livestreamed on YSTCM YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
