The Look + Listen Festival is dedicated to sparking dialogue between music and visual art through its annual free programming of contemporary music by today’s musical trailblazers in galleries and cultural centers throughout New York City.
About
The 2020 Spring Festival performances (April 23, Pioneer Works; April 25, Revelation Gallery; May 2, The Invisible Dog Art Center) are tied together with three newly-commissioned iterations of an audio-visual Ambient Experience, Turntable Drawings, by composer Danny Clay and San Francisco-based visual artist Jon Fischer.
Studies in Contrast explores the balance between youth and experience with the high-school-age ensemble Mantra Youth Percussion performing a set of new works commissioned specifically for them. Ensemble Échappé, a versatile group of soloists dedicated to presenting an eclectic spectrum of 20th and 21st century music, will perform a world premiere by Nina C. Young, as well as music by Nina Shekhar, Lembit Beecher, Philippe Leroux, Tania Leon, and Marcos Balter.
Studies in Contrast will be hosted by Kate Sheeran, Executive Director of the Kaufman Music Center, hornist, and former Provost and Dean of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
Reservations for all events (highly recommended) open on March 23. Please visit lookandlisten.org to RSVP.
