ECCO performs as a full string ensemble, filling the hall with a rich, vibrant sound. The program features a recent piano concerto by Vijay Iyer, performed by acclaimed pianist Shai Wosner. Iyer describes Handmade Universe as a work in which every sound comes from a physical gesture, challenging how we hear musical expression and phrasing. The evening concludes with Johann Sebastian Bach’s Chaconne, which Nathan Milstein called “one of the greatest achievements of any art.” Originally written for solo violin, it is reimagined for ECCO in a compelling new arrangement by Michi Wiancko.
