Professor Kurt E. Rohde’s composition seeking all that’s still unsung will receive its world premiere at Brandeis University performed by the Lydian String Quartet on April 6.

According to Rohde’s program notes for the premiere, the work is inspired by the world that surrounds us in its “current” present, both visible and acknowledged and unseen and unacknowledged. It contemplates what is missing from our world because the passage of time has brought about evolution, extinction, forgetting, erasure, and obliteration. And it imagines what changes are possible as we move into our future.

This work was commissioned through the generous support of a Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Grant.
