Learning To See May 18, 2008

Great Noise Ensemble wraps up its third season a program of works designed to complement both the collections and the space at the National Gallery of Art, with works inspired by concepts as far ranging as the emotion of love and as specific as the colors of a favorite painting. The works of composers Evan Chambers (Rothko-Tobey Continuum) and Barbara White (Learning to See) engage in a dialogue about the congruence of music and the visual arts in the 20th century, while Blair Goins contemplates the most common basic artistic inspiration in the premiere of his new work, Quintet of Love. We also wrestle with the classical tradition in the world premieres of Armando Bayolo's Chamber Symphony:Illusory Airs and Andrew Rudin's Piano Concerto, featuring guest soloist Marcantonio Barone.Tickets: http://www.nga.gov/programs/music/
