"It's a beautiful, exciting piece, about 12 minutes.
It almost unfolds as a stream of consciousness with a continuous unfurling of textures, subtle gradations of harmony and degrees of energy."
That's how cellist Karen Ouzounian describes Ilari Kaila's "Hum and Drum" for cello and piano, which she'll perform at the Sarasota Music Festival on June 20.
The piece by the Finnish-American composer "almost unfolds as a stream of consciousness with a continuous unfurling of textures, subtle gradations of harmony and degrees of energy," Ouzounian tells USA Today.
"It's very bubbling, very energetic but hushed music, and then music that is totally explosive and jagged and wild and accented."
As a first-time faculty member at the festival, Ouzounian will also perform "Lustrous Sounds" by Bach and "Shorthand" by American composer Anna Clyne on the festival's closing night on June 25, per the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
She says Kaila's "beautiful, exciting piece" is "very bubbling, very energetic but hushed music, and then music that is totally explosive and jagged and accented."
