Three imaginative works for wind quintet chart a journey through three very different sound worlds. Reena Esmail’s The Light is the Same (2017), a fascinating exploration of two contrasting Hindustani raags, embodies Rumi’s notion that “The lamps may be different / but the light is the same.” Audacious rhythms and otherworldly colors characterize Mario Lavista’s Cinco Danzas Breves (1994), already a classic of the contemporary Mexican chamber music repertoire. The program concludes with Dream States (2020) by Fred Fox School of Music alum Colin Nossek (BM ’20). This deeply impressive work charms with its inventive melodies and evocative depictions of the liminal states between waking, sleeping, and dreaming.
