El concierto interrumpido (2010) is inspired by Federico Garcia Lorca’s poem by the same name and by Luis Buñuel avant-garde film techniques. The abstract and somehow surreal character of the work features the piano as the soloist instrument of a concerto that is being constantly interrupted: melodies emerge only to be overpowered by the rest of the ensemble.
The Indiana University New Music Ensemble, with a core of eighteen virtuoso instrumentalists, dedicates its efforts to performing a broad spectrum of contemporary music, focusing on works from the recent past and giving many world premieres with the composer present, but also presenting significant ensemble works from the 20th century. Founded in 1974 by Frederick Fox the ensemble is directed since 1992 by David Dzubay.
