My Place : Crux Duo
with Lloyd Van’t Hoff clarinet
My Place brings together original Australian and American music. It illuminates a personal sense of belonging, identity, and our universal search for a voice. In celebration of Crux Duo’s collaboration and closeness with composers of our time, the album includes six world premiere recordings – new works either composed or especially arranged for them as a duo, or individually. Having lived “away from home” for various extended periods in both their lives, Moore and Van’t Hoff share a unique kinship and plurality of vision – through a mutual need to find a home in unfamiliar places.
Music by Leonard Bernstein, Martin Bresnick, Anne Cawrse, Erik Grizwold, Elena Kats-Chernin, Nick Russoniello, and Harriet Steinke.
