HURTLING TOWARD OBLIVION -TurnMusic Quartet concert curated by Mary Rowell features “Dig the Say” by Vijay Iyer as the centerpiece of the show. A study exploring the intricacies of James Brown’s musical genius in 4 continuous movements whose titles refer to Brown’s 1969 song “I Don’t Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing (Open Up the Door I’ll get in Myself). The program will include a contemplation of fantasy and dreams with Missy Mazzoli “Quartet for Queen Mab”; the wonder of the space we exist in with Shelly Washington “Middleground”; folk idioms and the spirit of dance and movement with Jessie Montgomery “STRUM”; the fearless relevance of Kyle Saulier “at the edge of a world not unlike our own”; the world premiere of “Nadia” (translation hope) by Erik Nielsen, a work dedicated to the people of Ukraine. Hope you can join us. Come on! It’ll be FUN!
