$30
- Miranda Cuckson, violin
Rand Steiger — Nimbus Violin
Kaija Saariaho — Frises
Kaija Saariaho — Nocturne
Violinist Miranda Cuckson and composer Rand Steiger collaborate on three works for violin and spatialized electronics, exploring the dazzling, immersive sonic potential of National Sawdust’s 102-loudspeaker Meyer Sound Constellation system. The program will feature the world premiere of Steiger’s Longing, written for Miranda Cuckson, and a re-imagining of his work Nimbus Violin, originally created in 2016 as part of an installation at Disney Hall for the LA Philharmonic. These will be heard alongside Kaija Saariaho’s four-movement Frises (2011), which layers repeating and reverberating shimmering gestures, and her delicate acoustic violin piece Nocturne (1994).
Doors open at 6:30pm; performance begins at 7:30pm.
