DESCRIPTION:
“Illuminating Boulez,” (April 3, 2017) part of Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s MusicNOW series, celebrates the legacy of composer-conductor Pierre Boulez and features the world premieres of two commissioned works: Marcos Balter’s shadows of listening and Pauline Oliveros’ For Two or Three Instruments.

Elizabeth Ogonek, the CSO’s Mead Composer-in-Residence, sat down with Balter and CSO cellist Katinka Kleijn, a longtime Balter collaborator, to discuss shadows of listening, scored for cello and electronics.

This concert was curated by Mead Composers-in-Residence, Elizabeth Ogonek and Samuel Adams.
