ensembleNEWSRQ (enSRQ), Sarasota’s innovative chamber music ensemble, announces its 11th season, featuring six concerts that bring together internationally acclaimed guest artists, world premieres, new commissions and collaborations with Roomful of Teeth, Luna Lab and Sarasota Contemporary Dance. Founders and co-artistic directors Samantha Bennett and George Nickson have curated a season that ranges from music for voice and intimate chamber ensembles to a virtuosic program for two pianos and two percussionists and a season finale combining live music and contemporary dance. The season also welcomes back acclaimed guest artists, including soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon and pianist Conor Hanick. As part of Season 11, enSRQ also partners with Luna Composition Lab to premiere new works by two Luna Lab composers as part of Luna Lab@10, the organization’s 10th-anniversary commissioning initiative.
