San Francisco Contemporary Music Players perform Thorvaldsdottir
SEE EVENT DETAILS
The San Francisco Contemporary Music Players perform acclaimed Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir's In the Light of Air, a forty-minute piece for viola, cello, piano, harp, percussion, and fixed electronics. SFCMP Artistic Director Steve Schick first heard the piece when it was being workshopped in NYC and writes, "Hearing her expansive sonic landscapes come alive with light and color was simply extraordinary....imagine her music as a sonic representation of the Northern Lights." The program also features music by Ken Ueno, Joe Pereira, and Toru Takemitsu. Audiences can join an informal conversation with Steven Schick and musicians from 6:30-7:00 pm before the concert.
