Experience the cutting-edge of contemporary classical music at the Walt Disney Concert Hall with the "Vocal Dimensions" concert, part of the Green Umbrella New Music Series. This remarkable evening is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at 8:00 PM, showcasing the innovative talents of Icelandic musician and conductor Daníel Bjarnason and the LA Phil New Music Group.

The concert will feature two premieres that promise to redefine the boundaries of classical music. The first is the world premiere of "NO" by Israeli American composer Chaya Czernowin, a LA Phil commission that explores new sonic landscapes. Following an intermission, the U.S. premiere of Bjarnason's "Snow Songs," a song cycle for soprano and ensemble, co-commissioned by the LA Phil and Crash Ensemble, will captivate the audience with its haunting beauty. Additional programming for the evening will be announced, ensuring a night of unforgettable musical exploration.

This performance is not only a showcase of groundbreaking compositions but also a celebration of new voices in classical music, generously supported by Raulee Marcus and the Marcus Fund for New Music. Join us at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for an evening that Time Out New York hints may come "eerily close to defining classical music’s undefinable brave new world."

Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique”, his eloquently profound final symphony, expresses the depths and peaks of the human experience, encompassing life’s beauty and the inevitability of death. By contrast, the poignant intensity of Bjarnason’s I Want to be Alive—Trilogy for Orchestra offers a powerful exploration of human vitality.
