Its recent CD, “Chen Yi: Sound of the Five,” was named one of the top 10 best classical releases of 2009 by National Public Radio and received glowing reviews from the prestigious Gramophone magazine, The San Francisco Chronicle and Willamette Week. The ensemble has created and presented more than 100 programs of contemporary music, commissioned more than 40 new works, and released 12 recordings to critical acclaim since its founding in 1985. The group’s musicians are among the best players from the top performing institutions in Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest, including the Oregon Symphony, Florestan Trio and Chamber Music Northwest. Third Angle has maintained a steadfast commitment to working with leading composers from the region, nation and world, bringing to Portland such noted composers as Ye Xiaogang, Steve Reich, Chen Yi and Jennifer Higdon, for programs devoted to their works. Third Angle will close its 24th season with a concert “Views from Cascadia” on May 7 at The Old Church, where it will perform works by Tomas Svoboda and David Schiff before showcasing them at the Beijing Modern Music Festival in China in late May. Third Angle is thrilled to partner with Portland Opera and accompany its Studio Artists.
