Bachtopus Releases 5th Commission from Composers Commissioning Fund - USAby Christine Johnstone |
Video: Fifth commission from the Bachtopus 2020 Composers Commissioning Fund - "Scintillation In Isolation". Bachtopus is excited to release the fifth commission from their 2020 Composers Commissioning Fund, which was written for them by composer and accordionist Will Holshouser. "Scintillation in Isolation" was composed during the general quarantine in New York City, USA during the spring of 2020. The title refers to the quiet maintenance of hope in the midst of fear and chaos, and the sharing of that hope through music, arts, and acts of solidarity. Bachtopus members are accordionists Robert Duncan, Peter Flint, Mayumi Miyaoka, and Jeanne Velonis. Their 2020 Composer Commissioning Fund is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC). |
