“‘This Is America’ forms a kind of bridge across generations. Gandelsman initially commissioned and performed solo violin works from 28 composers, ranging from mid-20th century legend Terry Riley, who is 90, to 19-year-old Harvard student Èbùn Oguntola. Conceived as an ongoing project, the setlist for the Brattle will feature some of the latest entries, including Rhea Fowler and Micaela Tobin’s hybrid violin/electronics piece, ‘A City Upon a Hill?'” – Michael Gutierrez, Cambridge Day
