The program included a tightly-interrelated mix of contemporary and classic composers, chosen for their thematic and artistic influences. A world premiere performance of a piece by Mohammed Fairouz paid tribute to the memory of György Ligeti, who was included at the beginning of the program with a piece that echoes and reinvents the Bach canon, himself represented by a particularly compelling fugue that followed. The evening concluded with a powerful interpretation of the masterful Dracula Suite by Philip Glass. With an undercurrent of sleep and death themes throughout the program, we came up with the title for the event, Voices from the Sleep.
