Sophia Gubaidulina at REDCAT May 15, 2011

Sofia Gubaidulina, one of the greatest living composers, makes a rare U.S. appearance for a four-program festival that showcases her expressive mastery.
Sunday evening features works that display her fascination with percussive sound, her adaptations of ancient musical impulses to new ends, and her portrait of a soul’s journey.
