Join us for an evening of cutting-edge contemporary music at the International Museum of Surgical Science. The program opens with the Chicago premiere of Rädda mig ur dyn (1994) by Karin Rehnqvist, featuring soprano Kristina Bachrach, alongside Luciano Berio’s Sequenza VIIb, Marcos Balter’s Strohbass with flutist Sasha Ishov, and Amy Williams’ Child’s Play with percussionist Kyle Flens.
After intermission, experience the world premiere of the Chicago Bagatelles Project, twelve inventive short works for solo saxophone performed by Phil Pierick. Commissioned from Chicago-based composers, these pieces are inspired by art, science, nature, and the city itself, including contributions from Carlos Bandera, Baldwin Giang, Jonathan Hannau, Molly Jones, David Clay Mettens, Osnat Netzer, Paul Novak, Shawn Okpebholo, Phil Pierick, Sean Shepherd, Augusta Read Thomas, and Ania Vu.
The program blends virtuosic solo performance, chamber collaboration, and interactive audience moments—including a participatory "sing-along" version of Berio’s Sequenza VIIb—filling the Museum’s Hall of Mortals with sound, creativity, and energy.
