About Ensemble Liaison

About the concert
Percussionist extraordinaire David Jones is the master of weaving musical spells, achieving seemingly impossible virtuosity with ease. He joins Ensemble Liaison for an eclectic program featuring Claude Bolling’s Suite for cello and jazz piano trio, Mike Mower’s Sonata Latino and the world premiere of a new work by Australian composer Hugh Crosthwaite, commissioned for this performance. David Jones and Ensemble Liaison first collaborated in 2011. The long-awaited return of their critically acclaimed partnership is a rare chance to explore brilliant music for this unusual combination of instruments.
