Del Sol Quartet and ZOFO

Del Sol Quartet and ZOFO

This concert was in Rollins Chapel, and was an eclectic mix of modern music.  Del Sol is a string quartet, and ZOFO (ZO=20, FO=finger orchester) is piano for four hands.  I particularly enjoyed the 6th movement “Adios a Churin from Milagros, a nice cello part in particular.  The Wheel & Mythic Birds Waltz was nice too, although I didn’t get how the explanation tied in.

In the second half, there were two Promenade parts, where first Eva-Maria walked around, and then Keisuke walked around.  I enjoyed the Paisaje and the Praying Mantis Rag (which was in fact ragtime).

The last piece was a bit comical, as it involved toy pianos, an instrument I had not seen before.  Each performer took a turn coming to one of the two to play a section.
