Sounding/BODY: Philomela Fragments with Terns & Ah Young Hong
@ International Museum of Surgical Science
1524 N Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60610
Opening Friday, October 16th, at 7PM
Join Terns—flutist Sasha Ishov and bassist Will Yager—for an evening of world premieres celebrating the uncommon pairing of flute and double bass. Terns will be joined by internationally acclaimed soprano Ah Young Hong for the world premiere of Philomela Fragments by Michael Hersch. The program also features world premieres by Carlos Bandera and Alexa Rinn, alongside additional repertoire for the ensemble.
Bringing together three distinct musical voices, the program explores the expressive possibilities of two instruments occupying opposite ends of the acoustic spectrum. Through close collaborations with composers, Terns is building a new body of repertoire for flute and double bass while expanding the possibilities of this unusual instrumental pairing.
Terns’ 2026–27 commissioning project is supported by New Music USA’s Creator Fund.
