Bridge Records 30th Anniversary\u00a0 –\u00a0 Bruno Walter Auditorium\u00a0 –\u00a0 October 20, 2011<\/p>\n
Bridge Records is an independent label that started out small and quirky, and has kept going without losing its quirky charm.\u00a0 The main emphasis is new music (in the classical sense) but includes a wide range of genres.\u00a0 It is run by the Starobin family; patriarch David is a guitarist, so this emerged as an outlet for his own music, but it really seems to be a stable of musicians respecting and caring for each other.\u00a0 Hsin-Yun Huang performed (with pianist Sarah Rothenberg) the premiere of Poul Ruders’\u00a0 “Romances”; since the composer was in the audience, I got his autograph on the sketch as well.\u00a0 Starobin himself teamed up with percussionist George Crumb for the latter’s “Mundis Canis”.\u00a0 The lobby had related artifacts on display including a score of Porgy and Bess signed by all the the principal collaborators listed on the title page, with an especially bold imprint by George Gershwin.\u00a0 As a bonus, excellent noshes were provided afterwards in said lobby.<\/p>\n
