Info zu And Nothing Remains the Same

On AND NOTHING REMAINS THE SAME from Eight Strings & a Whistle and Navona Records, the flute-viola-cello trio explores the constant cycle of transformation that defines human existence. Since 1998, Eight Strings & a Whistle have earned a reputation for championing Baroque, Classical, and Romantic repertoire while also premiering new works from living composers. AND NOTHING REMAINS THE SAME focuses on the music of contemporary composers, some of whom composed their pieces specifically for the trio. The performances heard on the album offer a rewarding and intimate listening experience with a deeply evocative sound rife with stark dissonance and rich harmony.

Eight Strings & a Whistle

Eight Strings & a Whistle
Committed to expanding the repertoire for the unique combination of flute, viola and cello, Eight Strings & a Whistle has been captivating audiences throughout the Northeast since 1998. We collaborate regularly with composers from all over the US and have premiered over ten works. We also love to perform outreach programs, give workshops and talk about what we do as much as we love playing concerts!

The three of us met as members of the Galatea Ensemble, a conductor-less, democratically run, chamber orchestra based in New York. Our first concert as a trio was a performance at a New York City high school in Brooklyn, as part of Galatea’s Arts-in-Education Program. Since then we have gone on to win the Artists International Special Presentation Award, giving our critically acclaimed New York debut at Merkin Concert Hall in May, 2003. Our more recent appearances have included performances at the Tenri Cultural Institute in New York City, on the Stern Virtuoso Series at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, the Keeler Tavern Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and the inaugural concert on the Chocolate Church Art Center’s Summer Concert Series in Bath, Maine. We can also be heard on TULPE, a recording of music by Sarah Davol and GRAMMY-nominated artist Dawn Avery, released on Okenti Records in January, 2008.
