Event Description

Joining forces for the first time for this Ear Taxi Festival Spotlight Concert, Liza Sobel and Jonathan Hannau have curated a program of music focused around the haunting song cycle George Crumb’s Apparition in celebration of his 90th birthday. In addition, they will perform selections from the original American experimental composer, Charles Ives. Both Jonathan and Liza will include their own original songs and feature additional Chicago composers. They will perform a new arrangement of Jonathan’s Silhouettes, based on early poems by William Carlos Williams, and an excerpt performance of Liza’s chamber opera, I Did, Did I?.
