On AND NOTHING REMAINS THE SAME from Eight Strings & a Whistle and Navona Records, the flute-viola-cello trio explores the constant cycle of transformation that defines human existence. Since 1998, Eight Strings & a Whistle have earned a reputation for championing Baroque, Classical, and Romantic repertoire while also premiering new works from living composers. AND NOTHING REMAINS THE SAME focuses on the music of contemporary composers, some of whom composed their pieces specifically for the trio. The performances heard on the album offer a rewarding and intimate listening experience with a deeply evocative sound rife with stark dissonance and rich harmony.
