Dorman’s explorations take him to Israel in September, for the Jerusalem Chamber Festival premiere of his new piano quintet Jerusalem Mix. Co-commissioned with the Chicago Chamber Musicians, the quintet takes is title directly from a popular Israeli dish called “Jerusalem Mix.” The meal is a savory and spicy combination of meats cooked together and served in pita bread. Dorman’s piece mirrors this combination by using the diverse musical elements of Jerusalem’s ancient co-existing cultures to weave a harmonic cloth of Jewish, Christian and Arabic elements.
