Left Coast Chamber Ensemble presents Left Coast Goes to the Museum, a concert featuring new works by six emerging composers inspired by two works of art on display at the de Young Museum.
Two exquisitely contrasting works of art, one black and one gold, serve as inspiration for six emerging composers: Jean Ahn, Nick Benavides, Jonathan Bailey Holland, Emily Koh, Mei-Fang Lin, and Ryan Suleiman, all commissioned to write new works for this program. On display in Gallery 16 of the de Young Museum, both sculptures make use of discarded materials and demonstrate the transformative quality of art. Learning of an arson attack on a church that had a predominantly African American congregation, Cornelia Parker collected the charred remains of the building and constructed Anti-Mass, which seems to float in the gallery, defying gravity. On the opposite wall is West African artist El Anatsui's Hovor II, an enormous opulent wall hanging made out of metal tops from discarded liquor bottles that are woven together with copper wire creating a shimmering textile-like tapestry.
These new commissions and premieres are made possible through a generous grant from the San Francisco Arts Commission Cultural Equity Program.
