Spanning Tree by Aventa Ensemble and Michael Oesterle

Michael Oesterle’s music has been commissioned and performed by Canadian and European orchestras, ensembles, singers and soloists. This album is dedicated to three of Michael’s extraordinary works for solo instruments. Aventa’s solo flutist, Mark Takeshi McGregor, writes “here is a composer who understands the complexities and subtleties of writing for an unaccompanied instrument; who can reference the instrument’s incredibly rich history of both hedonistic folk music and 18th-century polyphony, all the while cunningly maintaining his unique voice.”
