Neo Camerata brings the vibrant and emotionally stirring new classical music of composer Mark Landson to life in a program that features his works for violin, cello and piano. Described as “Stravinsky at his most lyrical”, Landson’s music combines first class classical composition technique with modern pop harmonies, driving rhythms and infectious melodies to take the listener on a continuous journey of emotion.
Formed in 2003, Neo Camerata has performed Landson’s music at the Cannes Film Festival, the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and in concerts with symphony orchestras and pop singers. Neo Camerata’s album of Landson’s compositions, “Travels”, is being re-released in January 2019 and will be available in a special package at the performance.
"A legitimate alternative voice to the often alienating landscape of contemporary classical music composition.”
