On Night 2, the Swiss-born, New York-based Sylvie Courvoisier combines European chamber music and American avant-jazz in a performance for solo piano. Mahsa Vahdat performs original song settings of Persian poetry, accompanied by setar player Atabak Elyasi. Vahdat’s compositions are inspired by her life in exile, her deep belonging to her homeland of Iran, and her dedication to preserving and reviving Iranian music. Night 2 ends with Juri Seo’s Just Intonation Etudes and Wildflowers followed by the world premiere of her Bad Decision for string quartet, bass, and drumset, with Friction Quartet.
