Longing for Utopia: Graeme Jennings plays Nono March 1, 2010

In this hour long piece for soloist and electronics, violinist Graeme Jennings forges an unpredictable path through the audience, like a pilgrim on a spiritual quest. Nono's piece requires the highest level of collaboration with a sound engineer, who must mix eight independently recorded parts in real-time, responding in the moment to the violinist's live performance. A groundbreaking work by one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century, the piece will be paired with an introductory talk and post-concert discussion led by the performers and other experts on Nono's work.
