For recorder, clarinet, violin, cello, piano and percussion

Overview
Instrumental Geometries brings together recent works by Andrew Byrne with canons by J.S. Bach (BWV 1072–1078), presented in new arrangements. Byrne’s music explores spirals, tilings, and algorithmic patterns, generating sound worlds shaped by internal logic and perceptual clarity. All of Byrne’s works in this program receive their premiere in this project.
