About the Piece
Written in 2016 for a fanfare competition, bronze medal-winning Indie Fanfare was officially premiered by the Israel Netanya Kibbutz Orchestra. Indie Fanfare is influenced not so much by the classical genre but rather by indie pop and indie rock, especially by their rhythmical vibe. In addition, there is a “conversation” between the strings and the winds, as well as a canon between instruments. The fanfare has a closed structure but it also tries to leave the audience wanting more, as a fanfare should usually do. [Program note by the composer]
