Nova Linea Musica’s season finale brings together vibrant voices from around the world in Blooming Under Blue Skies, a night of bold premieres and cross-cultural resonance. The evening opens with guitarist Mak Grgić in two solo works: Leon Firšt’s shimmering Two Slovenian Songs and Hakki Cengiz Eren’s atmospheric Three Portals. David Ludwig’s Prima Variations follows, performed by Grgić with violinist Desirée Ruhstrat and cellist Wendy Sutter. At the heart of the program is the world premiere of a Nova Linea Musica commission by Grammy-nominated composer Clarice Assad, whose music pulses with rhythmic vitality, expressive nuance, and Brazilian warmth, performed by Grgić, Ruhstrat, and Sutter. The evening closes with a suite of Piazzolla: Histoire du Tango: Café 1930 for Rabia Brooke and Grgić, Oblivion and La Calle for Ruhstrat, Sutter, and Grgić, and the full ensemble united for Libertango. Join us for a celebration of global artistry in full bloom. Featuring: Mak Grgić (guitar), Desirée Ruhstrat (violin), Wendy Sutter (cello), and Rabia Brooke (violin)
