The New Year's Concert with the American Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME). New Year’s Day Concert featuring works by Bach, Schubert, Pärt, Nyman, Mozart, Reich, and Beethoven. This performance offers a contemporary twist on the Austrian New Year’s concert tradition, featuring a collage of Baroque and classical standards with selections from ACME’s signature repertoire by 20th and 21st century composers. ACME will perform excerpts from Bach’s Art of Fugue, Schubert’s Death and the Maiden (second movement), Arvo Pärt’s Fratres, Michael Nyman’s String Quartet No. 2 (third and fourth movements), Mozart’s "Dissonance" Quartet (first movement), Steve Reich’s Violin Phase, Bach’s Cello Suite No. 6 in D Major (second movement, Allemande), and Beethoven’s “Harp” Quartet (first movement).
