Everybody knows that Messiaen and Scriabin were born with synesthesia, the condition by which sound is experienced as color.  This program couples them with other composers who either are also synesthetic (who knows?) or for whom color plays an important role in their musical creation:  George Crumb and Andy Akiho.  Since these are all quite excellent, interesting, enjoyable composers, this is a quite promising concert.  Especially since its being performed by a real all-star band.
