All of this music incorporates various aspects of improvisation. The first piece is an extension, set of variations on a Bosnia-Herzegovian folk song; the second piece is a structured improvisation composition; the “soundings”, is an on-going process of open (nothing pre-set) improvisations, as well as the final music with singing —all a delight in discovery. The concert was presented at the apartment of Vida Simon et Jack Stanley in Montréal in February of 2016, as chamber music has always been and will be; an intimate space for listening. — Malcolm Goldstein
