Abstract
Yu-Hui’s Incredulous – for alto flute, bass clarinet, horn, violin, viola, cello, double bass, piano, and percussion – has recently been premiered by Ensemble Échappé on March 18, conducted by Jeffrey Milarsky. Taking place in the beautiful Academy Library at the American Academy of Arts and Letters, this salon concert featured works by the winners of the 2017 Arts and Letters Awards in Music. Incredulous is a commentary on the political and social changes in the U.S. during the past one and half years. Also on the program are Andrew Norman’s The Companion Guide to Rome, Lisa Bielawa’s Incessabili Voce, and Jan Krzywicki’s Catching Light.
