Onix Ensemble: The ‘other type’ of classical music
As a term, ‘classical music’ feels dead and empty. And it certainly doesn’t define the myriad busy composers and musicians — like Mexico’s Onix Ensemble — who bust boundaries.
Onix plays UT’s McCullough Theatre at 8 p.m. Wednesday. See www.utpac.org for ticket information. This is a group of adventurous classically-trained musicians not to miss.
Founded in 1993 by Mexican flutist and new music advocate, Alejandro Escuer, the five-member Onix Ensemble (flute, piano, violin, cello and clarinet) is dedicated to being a voice for contemporary Mexican and Latin American composers — and also contemporary composers from around the world.
With verve, Onix plays a repertoire that ranges from the traditional-sounding to the most radically innovative.
Wednesday’s program includes short works by Mexican composers Armando Luna, Silvestre Revueltas and Gabriela Ortiz; Uruguyan-born LA-based Miguel Del Auila; U.S. composers Michael Torke and Steve Montague and something from Alegandr Cardona of Costa Rica.
