Premiere of Notes from Inside by the Atlanta Chamber Players

The Atlanta Chamber Players premiered “Notes from Inside” on Sunday afternoon. This six-movement suite for clarinet and string trio was written over the course of the past year, its movements responding in various ways to pandemic life.

I’m so grateful to the ACP for their intensely committed performance of my piece and I look forward to future collaborations.

Here is an excerpt from EarRelevant’s review of the concert:

“The last piece before intermission was Notes From Inside by Benjamin Krause. This composition, a winner of the Atlanta Chamber Players’ most recent Rapido! composition contest, was expanded from its original five minutes to nearly 15. As Mr. Krause explains in a short video, the idea of adding further movements to form a suite with very loose interplay between the individual movements was attractive.

This music is immediately appealing. Its freshness, inventive rhythmic treatment of single instruments, and constant pulsating flow made it the highlight of the evening.”
