Ensemble Dal Niente celebrates the opening of its 21st season with a program of new and recent works by Luis Fernando Rizo Salom, Carlos Bandera, Sofia Jen Ouyang, Leilehua Lanzilotti, Bernard Rands, and Bahar Royaee. The program, which ranges from the hypnotic soundscapes of Lanzilotti's The Space in Which to See to the evocative rhythmic energy of Salom’s Quatre Pantomimes, to the subtle color shifts of Bernard Rands’ In the Receding Mist for chamber ensemble, features the ensemble’s breathtaking ability to perform the most challenging and incisive music of today. 

This is the first ever concert featuring Dal Niente Tour Guides: instrumentalists from the ensemble will share their own listening perspectives with the audience throughout the program.
