“As long as there’s a world around, there’s a chance for any music to make its way. But sometimes, the world looks gloomy. I guess that happens all the time. Time can be erosive; we all know that…So, is fun while it lasted…” (Crumb on the future of music From Vox Hominis)
The program is based on the performer’s response to the passing of George Crumb. We begin the journey from Sorrow (Liszt's Nuages Gris) to Desireless (Crumb's Starry Night).
