The Grossman Ensemble – its resident band – has released “Fountain of Time,” an immensely appealing album that illuminates much of what CCCC is all about: nurturing new ideas in concert music. Each of the CD’s five compositions was given its world premiere by the Grossman Ensemble and is captured here in lustrous detail.

From the mystical opening pages of Shulamit Ran’s “Grand Rounds” to the instrumental sensuality of Anthony Cheung’s “Double Allegories,” from the exquisitely detailed tone painting of David Dzubay’s “PHO” to the subtle textural shifts of Tonia Ko’s “Simple Fuel,” the recording attests to the stylistic breadth the CCCC seeks to foster. It also documents the Grossman Ensemble’s high performance caliber, established during its first performance, in December 2018.
