Post-Classical Ensemble’s The Song of the Earth March 16, 2007

Gustav Mahler’s breathtaking Der Abschied (The Farewell) from Das Lied von der Erde is set in the context of the traditional Chinese music and poetry that inspired it.
The Post-Classical Ensemble’s program is complemented by the premiere of a work, “The Song of the Earth,” commissioned by the Clarice Smith Center, by Chinese-American composer Zhou Long. Through music and narrative, experience what happens when cultural boundaries are crossed by intrepid creative spirits. Stay for the post-performance Talk Back from the stage with the artists.

Tickets are $30, with a special student discounted price of $7 (with valid ID).
