The Contemporary Music Ensemble welcomes composer Tania León to the Bienen School with the sprightly rhythms of her work Toque, inspired by the Cuban dance tune "Almendra." The program also features Sam Pluta's Actuate/Resonate, in which the ensemble becomes (in the composer's words) "a giant synthesized drum machine," as well as the world premiere of Elliott Lupp's I think my legs might be broken and Michael Gordon's propulsive Yo Shakespeare.
