Ben Bolter, conductor; Marc Mellits, guest composer

The ensemble welcomes guest composer Marc Mellits for a performance of his lively and charming 240 Weeks, inspired by the impending arrival of six new babies in his social circles. Also on the program is Katherine Balch's Chamber Music—in the composer's own words, "a very intimate, intricate music intended for close listening and made among friends"—as well as a new work by composition PhD student Cat Phang.
