NICO MUHLY: VIOLA CONCERTO

I love working with composers who are real, living people, and working on pieces that are being created for the first time. That’s the most thrilling thing.”

Nadia Sirota

In one sense it’s about all violas, but in another sense it’s about her (viola) specifically being an instrument on which I (have) tried so many ideas. Most modern journeys have stories like that: where it’s the result of a collaboration, the result of someone who is hungry to do new things.”
