The Music of George Crumb
Saturday, July 24, 2010, 8:00 pm
Hunter Center
$22/ $60 Festival Pass
Capping off a day devoted to Crumb which starts at 3PM with a talk about Crumb with David Lang and Jim Findlay, and continues at 4:30 with a gallery recital of Crumb's music, this evening event is the world premiere of Jim Findlay's staging of Crumb's music performed by the amazing fellows and faculty of the Bang on a Can Summer Festival. Findlay uses video and movement to seamlessly connect the stylized ritual theater of Vox Balaenae, the anti-war intensity of Black Angels, and the eerie lyricism of Madrigals I-IV.
