Bachtopus Ensemble Release 2nd Commission for 2020 - USAby Christine Johnstone |
 |
| The Bachtopus Ensemble recently released their second commission from their 2020 Composers Commissioning Fund entitled “The Great Filter,” composed for them by Tony Kovatch. The inspiration for this piece comes partly from J.S. Bach, who developed elegant rules to yield an ocean of beautiful and complex music and partly from a contradiction in astrophysics called the Fermi Paradox. The Bachtopus ensemble includes accordionists Robert Duncan, Peter Flint, Denise Koncelik, 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). |
