Miranda Cuckson, cellist Jay Campbell and harpist Parker Ramsay play new works by Georg Friedrich Haas and Chris Trapani.
Groundtone’s third afternoon opens with a free program featuring three of today’s most virtuosic musicians:
Parker Ramsay: the “remarkably special” harpist (Gramophone),
Miranda Cuckson: who “fuses precision and elegance with passionate risk-taking” with her violin playing (Berkshire Edge),
Jay Campbell: the “electrifying” cellist (The New York Times).
Ramsay and Cuckson each return to PS21 after thrilling performances in 2025. Here, they’ll perform in our special, intimate configuration with all seating on the stage.
Featuring pieces by Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas (whose “microtones result in opulent and otherworldly harmonies that at times seem impossible to have been produced by acoustic instruments” – The New York Times) and New Orleans born Chris Trapani (“a latter-day, postmodernist Bartók, repurposing his sources to creative and imaginative ends” — Gramophone), the performance promises a transfixing menu of contemporary flavors in an up-close and immersive setting.
