CONCERT:NOVA does it in the dark
with (UN)SEEN, CONCERT IN THE DARK
Monday February 2, 2009 8:00PM
at the CONTEMPORARY ARTS CENTER
$20 ($10 CAC Members, ETA and Students with ID)

C:N continues its second season with (UN)SEEN, a concert in the dark, a performance that will challenge the listener's experience by turning OFF the lights... How is live music heard differently without visual cues?  What role does sight really play in our perception of live music?  Inspired by the science of hearing, psychoacoustics and neurology, C:N will explore these questions with neuroscientist Chris Brubaker PhD, in an experimental performance that seeks to expand our understanding of music and the workings of the ear and mind.  Part performance, part science experiment, (UN)SEEN is guided listening experience that will turn live music inside out.

Works will include:
HANDEL/HALVORSEN Passacaglia featuring Mauricio Aguiar + Anna Reider
JS BACH Brandenberg Concerto No 4 featuring Tatiana Berman, violin, Randolph Bowman + Jasmine Choi, flutes
KOECHLIN Sonata for Two Flutes
OSWALDO GOLIJOV Last Round for String Nonet
ARVO PART Fratres for String Quartet

Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art
44 E. 6th Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202 - 513.345.8400
