Note:
"Concerto Grosso" for Meitar ensemble and orchestra explores spaces between musical extremes - the ensemble's intimacy against the massive orchestral force, sound surfaces against instrumental rhetoric, orchestral sounds against electronic music. The hope is that by blurring the boundaries between the categories, the layers of reference and functionality will be peeled off the sound, allowing them to be perceived as pure acoustic sensations and abstract structures.
