Third Coast Review: Grossman Ensemble Ends the Season Memorably
As enjoyable as those pieces were, Vivian Fung’s Ominous ended the concert in an eerie way. In this piece Fung used tremolos throughout to create a very dramatic yet pensive feel. Within this framework, she also created unexpected soundscapes that are unnerving, rather than relaxing. A great climax emerged that included a solo on the drum kit. The contrast between it and the program’s other works produced a very satisfying experience overall.
