Last fall, the Spektral Quartet commissioned more than 40 contemporary composers to create mini new music masterpieces to serve as ringtones and alerts on mobile devices. More than 40 composers signed on, including Augusta Read Thomas, Nico Muhly, Shulamit Ran, Bernard Rands and David Lang.
The quartet will present them all at its "Mobile Miniatures" release party in Chicago at Constellation, on Saturday, March 29 at 8:30 p.m. The program will be repeated on April 3 at the University of Chicago's Fulton Recital Hall.
The "Mobile Miniatures" live event also marks the release of these ringtones to the general public on SpektralQuartet.com, and ticket holders will receive five free downloads of their choice.
