Art Inspiring Music: Challenging Perceptions: Harmonic and Social Dissonances

This season’s special exhibition Ai Weiwei: Bare Life serves as inspiration for this unique program featuring the violin/clarinet/percussion ensemble F-PLUS. With driving rhythms, moments of extreme dissonance, and complex, interweaving lines, F-PLUS will embark on a sonic journey evocative of Ai Weiwei’s artworks that challenge us to be aware of the world around us in times of political and social turmoil. The program will include works by Roger Zare, WashU composer Christopher Stark, and Howie Kenty.

Free and open to the public. Cosponsored with the Department of Music in Arts & Sciences.
