Grossman Ensemble, Stefan Asbury, conductor

This concert marks the inaugural tour of Chicago’s Grossman Ensemble, one of the Windy City’s artistic treasures. Led by conductor Stefan Asbury, the group will perform music by prominent American and British composers, including Augusta Read Thomas, Sean Shepherd, Morton Feldman, and Sir George Benjamin. Benjamin, who curated the concert’s program, will be in attendance to discuss his work, fresh from performing his latest four-hand work (and a Library co-commission) in the Coolidge Auditorium the night before. Known for their meticulous attention to detail and artistic investment in the music they perform, the Grossman Ensemble will paint with sound in a magical D.C. debut.
