George Crumb: Ancient Mysteries and the Universe of Dreams
Tuesday, April 2 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm CDT
$10.00 – $40.00
American composer George Crumb (1929-2022) will be the focus of an evening dedicated to his work. Scott Yoo, conductor, violinist, and star of PBS’ popular series Now Hear This, will host the program with performances by pianist Adam Neiman, flutist Alice Dade, members of NEXUS Chamber Music, and members of the Grossman Ensemble. Get tickets now.
George Crumb expressed his ideas through extended instrumental techniques, vivid musical dialogues, and evocative symbolism embedded in theatrical contexts. In the process, he forged a new means of musical messaging that would have a lasting effect on avant-garde music. The intimacy of Guarneri Hall is the perfect setting for a performance and discussion of two of Crumb’s most iconic works, Vox Balaenae and Black Angels.
