Celebrating Louis Andriessen: Prismatic Reflections

Mar 27-28, 2020, 8pm-9:30pm (3/27 at SF Conservatory, 3/28 at Flight Deck in Oakland)

In the season of his 80th birthday, Dutch composer Louis ANDRIESSEN remains an enduring and influential voice for multiple schools of composition, owing to his own self-reinventing approach. Elements of jazz and rock-pop converge in his music to create a language both startling and familiar.
