E4TT’s annual commissions concert,”Expression: Ism” is set to take place at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on April 5.

Soprano and E4TT co-founder Nanette McGuinness and emerita pianist Dale Tsang give the world premiere of a new chamber arrangement by Alban Berg’s “Sieben Frühe Lieder,” by TJ Martin. They are joined by guest artists vibraphonist Elizabeth Hall, English hornist Laura Reynolds, violinist Lylia Guion, cellist Amy Brodo, and pianist Taylor Chan.

The two other world premiere pieces are commissioned trios by E4TT co-founder David Garner and Valerie Liu. Also on the program are works by Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern and Adam Schoenberg.

The concert is multimedia dialogue between music by the Second Viennese School and new music inspired by their groundbreaking work. E4TT has teamed with the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Technology and Applied Composition (TAC) Department to enhance the concert experience.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. with a pre-concert talk half an hour prior.
