Present Music: Equinox: Light And Dark
Mar 20 @ 8:00 pm – 11:45 pm

eqinox (1)WMSE supports, Present Music’s Equinox: Light And Dark.
Last season’s Equinox was “aglow with promise” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), contrasting light and dark, death and life, and this year is no different as Present Music presents Equinox: light and dark, March 20, 2016. Performing the brooding, atmospheric Night Scenes from the Ospedale by Robert Honstein (written as part of the Vivaldi Project, the goal of which was to weave early and new music together seamlessly) will make an intriguing contrast to Vivaldi’s sunny L’Estro Armonico. Judd Greenstein’s Clearing, Dawn and Dance (“…an epically high flying work reminiscent of Glass’s dance and cinema pieces while never abandoning Greenstein’s own signature palette of sounds” – wqxr), Andrew Norman’s Music in Circles (a “5 minute static electricity storm” – Pitchfork) and music by Ligeti and Gubaidulina will connect as we cross the divide from winter to spring.
(Program subject to change. This concert is not intended for children under 10.)
