A glowing review of our first Harris series concert last night: High-tech dashes help eighth blackbird soar, by John von Rhein.
“…how terrific eighth blackbird is, and how bracing, accessible and free of academic sterility its programs are…
The ripples and shimmers that filled Muskal’s post-minimalist score were as evanescent as the swirling, digitized visuals—dissolving into one another with kaleidoscopic beauty. “Mirrors” is high-tech music theater at its most inventive and fascinating…
Half the fun of Frederic Rzewski’s “Pocket Symphony” was visual, as the players formed different configurations to match the percolating, fluttering, delicate, dancing score. Rzewski’s agreeably quirky music captures the bracing virtuosity of eighth blackbird beautifully…
It’s a must-hear.”
