Contemporary Insights: Music and Conversation

Each Contemporary Insights event focuses on a single piece from the following Monday’s subscription concert. Composers and musicians talk about the piece, and the musicians demonstrate parts of it. After performing the work in its entirety, the musicians will elicit reactions, answer questions, and dialog with the audience.

Share wine and hors d’oeuvres afterwards.

Sunday, November 18, 2007 4 pm Piedmont Piano Co., San Francisco

Program: Liza Lim, Shimmer Songs for harp, three percussion, and string quartet

Australian Composer Liza Lim joins Music Director David Milnes and the ensemble in a world premiere presentation of her Shimmer Songs. The piece is inspired by Aboriginal ideas about parallel spiritual realities.
