Join us for an evening of contemporary music and premieres at the Bienen School of Music's Galvin Recital Hall on Friday, March 8, 2024, at 7:30pm CST. Under the baton of Ben Bolter and assistant conductor Jason Gluck, the Contemporary Music Ensemble will present a captivating program featuring the Chicago premiere of Yotam Haber's "Estro Poetico-armonico III" for mezzo-soprano and ensemble, inspired by the rich liturgical traditions of Jewish communities in Italy. Mezzo-soprano Rena Maduro will lend her voice to this piece, which intertwines historical recordings with poetry reflecting the complexities of modern life in Israel.

The evening will also spotlight Stacy Garrop's "Frammenti," a composition of five miniatures each based on musical fragments, and the world premiere of "Asphyxiation" by Bienen student composer Jonah Keoun. This performance promises to be a profound exploration of music's power to convey history, emotion, and innovation.

Tickets are priced at $8 for the general public and $5 for students with valid ID, though availability is limited. The Mary B. Galvin Recital Hall, located at 70 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston, IL, offers an intimate setting with stunning views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline, ensuring an unforgettable experience. Don't miss this opportunity to witness groundbreaking works performed by the next generation of musical talent.
