This March two new works, Wondrous Freedom for saxophone quartet and Imagined Passions for piano trio will receive their premieres by the New Thread Quartet and the Southwest Trio. Secret Nights will also be performed by the Gotham Ensemble. Click here for more details.
Two other works will be premiered later this year. Written for Seth Woods, Canticum Antiquum for solo cello and electronic sound processing will be premiered in Basel, Switzerland in June with a repeat performance in New York later this year. And a work, now in progress, will be premiered by the Cadillac Moon Ensemble in May as part of Random Access Music's Queens New Music Festival. Be on the lookout for further updates!
In December, Gilbert was awarded a Composer Assistance Program grant from New Music USA (formerly the American Music Center and Meet The Composer) for support of Canticum Antiquum for solo 'cello and electronic sound processing.
