Pulsar for guitar quartet (2018)
For guitar quartet or ensemble. “Pulsar” revisits the theme of space phenomena that had also inspired my 2012 composition “Nebulae.” The two works could be programmed together as a set, or performed independently. Commissioned by the Harrison School for the Arts in Lakeland, FL. Premiered October 5, 2018 at Harrison School for the Arts under the baton of the composer.
Review:
“Olga Amelkina-Vera composed an amazing piece for the students at Harrison, which challenged and excited them equally. Her expert coaching of the ensembles, the insightful thoughts that she shared with our student composers, and her conducting at the concert made for a phenomenal residency.”
