TICKETS + INFORMATION

Maybe Georg Friedrich Haas goes beyond microtonality into minimicrotonality. His work is extreme — but what you might not expect is that it’s extremely moving. Tonight’s pieces take their respective inspirations from Josquin (as well it might) and Sappho. Anyone who’s heard any of Argento Ensemble’s astonishing performances of Haas’s in vain knows that they are insanely well-attuned guides to this incredibly compelling soundworld.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Theoretically boring, in practice delicious, Italian from the oven at Ci Siamo.
