Flying high on the heels of its recent performance at the 2008 Ditson Festival of Contemporary Music, the Firebird Ensemble continues its dedication to performing contemporary classical works with the world premiere of Nicholas Vines’ Torrid Nature Scene (a commission by the Firebird Ensemble) peppered with other eclectic pieces by fellow avant-garde composers including Thomas Adès, Earl Kim, John Harbison, and C. Bryan Nulon. Made up of some of Boston’s finest artists on the new music scene today, the Firebird Ensemble includes: Sarah Bob (piano), Sarah Brady (flute), Gabriela Diaz (violin), Rane Moore (clarinet), David Russell (cello), Aaron Trant (percussion), and Kate Vincent (viola); with special guests Paula Downes (soprano), Thea Lobo (mezzo-soprano), Jeff Means (conductor), Jason White (horn), and Ina Zdorovetchi (harp).
