The first CD of the Ying Quartet's acclaimed Life Music series. LifeMusic is a series of commissions from established or emerging American composers and each work draws on a different aspect of American life. From the world's most prestigious stages to the rural farm towns of America, the Ying Quartet has earned recognition for both its brilliant concert performances and its enterprising promotion of chamber music's larger role in society. Now in their second decade, the Yings have brought their compelling and insightful music-making to virtually every North American city and to Europe, Asia and Australia, winning acclaim for their 'clear-eyed vision of what the music means and how best to communicate that to an audience.' (Detroit Free Press) Whether in a concert hall, a state house rotunda or a one-room school house, the Ying Quartet projects its musical ideas with exceptional energy, intelligence and passion.
