Our season continued on Monday in Herbst Theatre with Zone 2: in which an indispensable morphology is identified, featuring music by James Tenney, Martin Bresnick, David Lang, Frederic Rzewski, and John Cage. Here are some reviews of the concert:
- "In a lean and elegant program...the group made a case for expressive efficiency, yielding a maximum of impact with a minimum of music." (Joshua Kosman, SF Chronicle)
- "[Credo In Us] is a celebration of sonorities in wild diversity; and any sense of morphology arises from how those sonorities bump into each other." (Stephen Smoliar, examiner.com)
- "The level of performance, as usual, was very high." (Paul Hertelendy, ArtsSF.com)

"The forty-one year tradition of the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players establishes it as one of this country's most venerable and important ensembles for contemporary music; and the terrific musicians of the group and their commitment to cutting-edge musical ideas mean that it is also an ensemble of the future,” Schick says. “We are the ideal group to present these ten exciting new works by an amazing array of internationally known composers.”
