Inbal Segev, world-renowned cellist noted by the Washington Post for her “thrillingly projected, vibrato-rich playing,” joins IPO for what is sure to be a standout performance in the Midwest premiere of Vijay Iyer’s Human Archipelago. Iyer brings his work to IPO for only its third appearance worldwide after debuting with the London Philharmonic & then the Oregon Symphony. “Human Archipelago addresses the entangled processes of climate change & migration & the societal imbalances that are both their cause & their result,” muses Iyer. “The piece is intended to take the performers to a point of vulnerability & the brink of possibility that brings the music to life & expresses human inter-reliance.”
