Left Coast Chamber Ensemble (LCCE) kicks off its 30th anniversary concert series with Up Next!, a concert celebrating the exuberance and brilliance of young composers. Sky Macklay’s new rhythmically driven and jazzy quintet for double bass and string strings contrasts with Sarah Westwood’s reflective introspection. Carlos Simon muses on his childhood memories and Johannes Brahms offers a passionate work for piano quartet.
