Ensemble X: The Music of György Kurtág, Sofia Gubaidulina, and J.S. Bach

Music of the Spirit: Solace in Our Time
The music of György Kurtág and Sofia Gubaidulina, both now in their 90's and two of the most acclaimed composers of the last fifty years, share an intensity in their work that reveals a beauty based on struggle and the necessity to communicate. Both are hermetic composers who offer poetic and ultimately cathartic visions of sound, and the performance will take advantage of the beautiful acoustics and space of Sage Chapel. Please join Ensemble X for this musical balm. Performers include Misha Bjerken, Xak Bjerken, Richard Faria, Guillaume Pirard, Annette Richards, Elizabeth Simkin, Leo Sussman, Diego Vásquez.

Please be aware that late seating will not be allowed for this performance until intermission, approximately 40 minutes in.
