Escape Velocity at Timucua Arts Foundation

About

$10-$20 suggested donation. Please also bring food or wine to share.\n\nescapeVelocity presents a recital of rarely-heard masterworks for violin and piano. The program exists between two poles: Charles Wuorinen’s brutally beautiful Sonata for Violin and Piano and Olga Neuwirth’s celestially virtuosic “Quasare/Pulsare.” These pieces are contrasted with—and illuminated by—Judith Weir’s elegant and humorous “Music for 247 Strings” and Jessica Mays’s compactly lush “Duo.” Exploring symmetry\, reflections\, and the balance between opposing forces\, Theo Chandler’s new work for escapeVelocity itself holds the program in balance.
