Hören Sie das?!

Children believe that they can hear the sea in a shell. Adults know better, but they are not quite ready to give up the belief. John Cage’s Inlets revives this seemingly lost magic, eliciting unexpected sounds from the interiors of large conches. In addition to seashells, this concert features thunder sheets and megaphones, which challenge the sounds typically associated with classical music. In this eclectic lineup, Moto perpetuo for solo timpani would seem almost pedestrian — were it not written by a composer as exceptional as Elliott Carter.
