Scrupulously Represented Chamber music by Kurt Rohde - heard by HOWARD SMITH '... dramatic and powerfully intimate.'

In the 1990s San Francisco-based Kurt Rohde began work as a violist. Later as a self-taught composer he found himself creating distinctive, highly eloquent music bolstered by West coast and Atlantic seaboard colleagues. To a degree his music is likened to work of Harry Partch (1901-1974), an American who created his own musical instruments, and one of the first twentieth-century Western composers to work systematically with microtonal scales.

Rohde is a recipient of the Rome Prize, the Berlin Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and is the winner of the 2012 Lydian String Quartet Commission Prize...
