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

Program:
Ken Ueno, new work for flute, percussion, prepared piano, viola, cello, and voice.
Sara Jobin conducts.
Informed by his experience as an electric guitarist and overtone singer, Ken Ueno fuses the culture of Japanese underground electronic music with an awareness of European modernism. Ueno will perform the vocal part in this new piece himself, using the extended techniques that have been called a “far-out highlight” by the Boston Globe.
Tickets: $10 general, $5 students.
Buy tickets on our secure order form or purchase at the door.
