Strings Theory Trio opens their 2015-2016 season in JP

Featuring Strings Theory Trio’s signature “directed improvisation,” composed by Mimi Rabson and performed by Rabson with Helen Sherrah-Davies, and Junko Fujiwara. Combining idiomatic flexibility, a deep wellspring of creativity, and world-class virtuosity, Rabson is one of the Boston area’s most valuable musical resources — and her current Strings Theory Trio brings together some of her most important influences and inspirations.

Concert repertoire will include the following compositions, all composed by Rabson: “Metalyptica”, “Nirvarky”, “Flashback”, “Marking Time,” and “Strunk”.

Strings Theory Trio (www.mimirabson.com/mimirabson.com/Strings_Theory_Trio.html): with leader Mimi Rabson’s five-string violin and the equal voices of Junko Fujiwara on cello and Helen Sherrah-Davies on five-string violin, the Trio supercharges the intimate atmosphere of chamber music with a triple dose of edgy, daring improvisation. Listening to these virtuosi, one hears Western classical tradition anew; the surging counterpoint and crystalline instrumental sonorities gain new resilience and allure from their origin in the inspiration of the moment. Simultaneously delicate and dangerous, the Trio’s music is richly nuanced and deeply satisfying. A sample of their most recent recording project can be viewed at www.vimeo.com/soamel/stringstheoryflashback.
