The adventurous Ensemble Signal returns to perform two important premieres by Italian composer Luca Francesconi, whose “music is the result of a fearless creative voraciousness” (The Guardian). His Portrait—long overdue from two separate postponements over the course of the pandemic—features a pair of works, including Trauma Études—a large-scale, powerful piece that reflects on the human experience of trauma in a modern world.
