Preorder Années de Début
Up-and-coming classical composer Ethan Boxley makes a confident first appearance on the classical music scene with the release of his 2018 album, Années de Début. The CD features a collection of eight original pieces composed by Ethan, including string, wind, and piano quartets, as well as his most recent oboe quintet, Introspection, and a sparkling set of variations for solo violin, For Sofya. In his compositional works, Ethan explains his aim of “combining the rich, contrapuntal textures and devices of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with the clear, memorable melodic idiom of today’s film music, in order to create music that is as engaging and listenable as it is highly complex.”
