Imaginary Intersections this Saturday: MORE INFO!

The SCBF is very much looking forward to this weekend's exciting and unusual concert production, "Imaginary Intersections: Raga & Raj." This premiere has resulted from over a year's worth of work and collaboration between Barry Phillips, Linda Burman-Hall and the Baroque Festival's resident ensemble Lux Musica. Here you can find various bits of information on the Raga & Raj project:

The performance will include the world premiere of Barry Phillips' imaginary musical exploration of Indian-Baroque crossovers, as well as selections of Indian and 18th-century European composers (inspired by Indian music), and finally a work by this and last century's Lou Harrison (d. 2003), known for his Southeast-Asian inspired compositions. Alone the sonic mix of Indian instruments with the softer and less-commonly heard, but timbrally instriguing historical Western instruments will be a journey worth engaging. We hope to see you there, and if you wish, do join us for a post-concert hangout at the Crepe Place (to be announced to the audience).
