It gives young pla yers a chance to work together in a completely new way\, each player takin g full responsibility for the sound of the group. Palma's regular coaching is supplemented by other members of the NEC faculty.Music of the classica l era by Handel\, Haydn\, and Mozart is at the core of virtually every pro gram\, along with an occasional baroque work\, as well as modern pieces.\n Tonight's concert features Four Transylvanian Dances by Sá\;ndor Ver ess\, who was mentored by Bartok\, and who is said to have 'out-Bartoked B artok.' The younger Hungarian composer completed these dances in the late 1940s shortly after he had decided not to return to his homeland and risk political and artistic repression and it is hard not to hear both defiance and a leave-taking in this music. The composer describes the dances as 'f ree re-creations of certain styles of dance music indigenous to Hungarian villages\, particularly to the Szé\;kler of Transylvania.'\nOther wo rks include the Mozart Divertimento No.11 in D-major\, K.251 andSchoenberg 's Transfigured Night. The latter is heard in the string orchestra versio n that the composer arranged in 1917 and subsequently revised in 1943. Thi s performance\, paired with the January 31 NEC Contemporary Ensemble perfo rmance of the original 1899 sextet version\, offers listeners an unusual o pportunity to see how the composer's vision of the piece&mdash\;probably h is most popular&mdash\;changed over the course of his life.
