**Event: Bold Experiment - Curtis New Music Ensemble**

**Date and Time:** February 15, 2025, at 7:00 p.m.

**Location:** Curtis Institute of Music, Gould Rehearsal Hall

**Event Description:**
Join us for an exhilarating evening as the Curtis New Music Ensemble presents "Bold Experiment," a concert that delves into the musical and academic explorations of the 20th century. This event is part of the Curtis Institute of Music's centennial celebration, commemorating the visionary Bold Experiment initiated by Mary Louise Curtis Bok in 1924 when she founded the conservatory in Philadelphia.

The program will feature a selection of compelling works, including:

- **VILLA-LOBOS:** Choros No. 2
- **CRAWFORD SEEGER:** Suite for wind quintet
- **MEREDITH MONK:** Obsolete Objects, Totentanz, and Folkdance
- **EASTMAN:** Buddha
- **DU YUN:** The Ocean Within
- **CRUMB:** Black Angels

A highlight of the evening will be the performance of George Crumb’s "Black Angels," a haunting piece for electric string quartet subtitled "Thirteen Images from the Dark Land." Written during the Vietnam War, this composition captures the era's horrors, anguish, and upheaval, serving as a poignant parable for our contemporary world.
