(a place is a place) is a bi-coastal collaborative project bringing together two prominent violin/viola duos from both coasts — andPlay (NYC) and Aperture Duo (LA), featuring three newly commissioned works by Carolyn Chen (LA), Matt Evans (NYC), and Andrew McIntosh (LA). With (a place is a place), the lush and ephemeral sonic worlds of these composers align in tandem for an evening of duo and quartet works, highlighting both ensemble's individual identities and their combined power. (a place is a place) will be premiered in Los Angeles presented by Equal Sound on January 9th 2020, followed by a performance at The Crypt of Church of the Intercession in New York City on January 16th, 2020.
