Concert at 8 pm; Pre-concert discussion at 7 pm

A special collaboration between the S.F. Contemporary Music Players and CNMAT brings together radical advances in electronics with the warmth and expressiveness of acoustic instruments in an evening of electro-acoustic music from around the world. Highlights include Nicolas Vérin's Instabile, conducted by Linda Bouchard; Jonathan Harvey's Soleil Noir/Chitra; a stunning work for electronics and flute composed by Kaija Saariaho, one of Finland's leading composers; Edmund Campion's delightful Losing Touch; and Laetitia Sonami's performance of her own piece Has/Had, featuring the lady's glove.
