US Premiere of Georg Friedrich Haas's <em>für Hans Landesmann</em>; World Premiere of <em>Concerto Grosso No. 2</em>

Earlier this month, the Argento Chamber Ensemble gave the US premiere of Georg Friedrich Haas’s für Hans Landesmann at the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York. First performed by Klangforum Wien in 2002, the work was written to honor the 70th birthday of Hans Landesmann, the Viennese impresario known for introducing contemporary music to festivals throughout Europe. The work was featured as part of Argento Ensemble’s three-part series, “New Year, New Music”, which also included a performance of Hannah Lash’s Friction, Pressure, Impact, as well as works by Erin Gee and Ann Cleare. Performances took place on May 2 and 4, 2014.

On May 10, Ilan Volkov leads the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in the world premiere of Haas’s Concerto Grosso No. 2, for chamber ensemble and orchestra, as part of the Tectonics Festival in Glasgow. The program also features the UK premiere of Haas’s Concerto for Baritone Saxophone and Orchestra, performed by soloist Marcus Weiss.
