“The center of the New York new-music scene for forty-five years" - The New Yorker (May 2016)

Winners of the 1973 Naumburg Award, the group has commissioned well over 100 works from composers such as Joan Tower, John Harbison, Shulamit Ran, Philip Glass, Mohammed Fairouz, Milton Babbitt, Shirish Korde, and David Lang, among many others. In 2010, NPR named Da Capo’s CD, Chamber Music of Chinary Ung (Bridge Records), as one of the 5 Best Contemporary Classical CDs of the year. In May 2012, the Naumburg Foundation invited Da Capo to premiere works by their first ever composition winners. In residence at Bard College since 1982, Da Capo has released recordings on the Bridge, New World, CRI, and Innova labels.

Composer highlight: Anders Torgunrud Røshol

Commissioned for us with the support of The Norwegian Composers’ Fund

About the composer:
Anders Torgunrud Røshol is a Norwegian composer who mainly works with acoustic music. Røshol views his compositions as processes of discovery, where multiple ideas interact and gradually build their own world around themselves. His music has been performed and recorded internationally, and he has collaborated with some of Norway’s leading ensembles, such as Oslo Sinfonietta, BIT20 Ensemble, and Nordic Voices. His piece, “Swiveling in a Flexible Unison,” commissioned by BIT20 Ensemble, was nominated for the Edvard Prize in 2022.

Recently, Røshol has focused on writing vocal music, with pieces like “En verden bortenfor øynene” (2022), a large setting of six poems by Norwegian poet Rolf Jacobsen for baritone, guitar, and ensemble, and “The Silence of the Lilacs Fluttering” (2024), for six voices on poems by Alejandra Pizarnik.
