Eco Ensemble
David Milnes, director

UC Berkeley’s acclaimed new-music ensemble in residence does not need to look far to access some of the world’s most compelling and innovative chamber music. The university’s much-admired music department boasts some of contemporary music’s leading lights, as both celebrated faculty and alumni with international careers.

This season’s concert is a deep dive into the music of two exciting recent additions to the composition faculty. Matthew Evan Taylor centers the human breath as a primary organizational structure of his music, and Mu-Xuan Lin’s work is influenced by her experience in the visual arts, creative writing, cinema, and theater.

“The New German School, the Second Viennese School, the New York School…I imagined a future musicologist writing of the Berkeley School. The central feature? A focus on timbre and time” (San Francisco Classical Voice).
