Friday, January 26, 2024 AT 8:00PM
Hinge Quartet presents a program of new and recent works that blur the boundaries between contemporary classical, electronic music, and avant-garde rock. This concert showcases the wide range of diverse music that composers are writing today, from Cole Reyes's beautiful ambient soundscapes, to the intense and brutal noise sculptures of Sam Pluta, to the rigorously freeform improvisations of Anthony Braxton, to the ritualistic theatricality of Sarah Grace Graves.

Chameleon Arts Ensemble: Seeking Syllables
Saturday, February 24, 2024 at 8:00PM
A notorious perfectionist and restless spirit, Brahms was his own harshest critic, writing and rewriting his scores with the precision of a poet. His piano quintet underwent three major transformations on the way to becoming the sublime essay we know today. Similarly, Vocalissimus is a tour de force of expressive possibility, as Currier interprets – and reinterprets – a single poem through a prism of 18 different characters.

Where does music come from? Composers are inspired by many sources – from the rolling hills of Appalachia to a city bus in Alabama and the birds and bees flying around us every day. Join us for a colorful, creative morning of classical music – especially for kids – exploring the intersection of imagination and the world around us, with works by Dvorak, William Grant Still, Somei Satoh, and Daniel Roumain, and more.
An instrument “petting zoo” will follow the performance in the library’s beautiful outdoor garden. Kids will be able handle and play orchestral instruments as guided by the musicians, and will be encouraged to touch, pluck, bow, and strike.
