Poe, Lara

Lara Poe’s energetic Divergence (2015-2016) for string quartet was conceived cyclically: the four movements explore drifting in and out of focus between different materials. A light ditty of the second movement diverges to the third movement’s overtone derived chords. Duration c. 25 minutes. Buy now

Bouncy and brisk – but also expressive and super lyrical – Lara Poe’s Mainspring for alto saxophone and piano (2020) makes the most of the two instruments. Duration 4’30 Buy now
