Rescheduled from the 2021/22 season, we present an immersive, in-gallery performance by pianist Conrad Tao and cellist Jay Campbell. The duo perform the Washington, DC-debut of a new work by composer Catherine Lamb, The Additive Arrow, co-commissioned by The Phillips Collection.
Lamb's new work for midi-keyboard and cello is a meditative exploration of the space between instruments, ears, and open space, and is inspired by the relationship between form, shape, and structure in the visual arts and music. The Additive Arrow takes direct inspiration from the art and ideas of Paul Klee, a visual artist and thinker whose work is central to the Phillips's permanent collection. Tao and Campbell perform Lamb's new work alongside Sergei Rachmaninoff's sumptuous Sonata in G minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 19.
