Conventionally notated songs to theater pieces, in which simple actions produce sounds that are transformed electronically. For this performance, five soloists will sing selections from the Song Books in simultaneous recitals, each following an independent course through the Searing Galleries. The vast range of the Song Books will provide sonic counterpoint to the modern and contemporary works on display, which articulate the various manifestations of abstraction.

This special 50th anniversary event marks New Music’s return to the Museum after its landmark first performance in 1998.

This event is free with “Art After Five” Museum Admission: $10/adults, $5/children ages 6-17; free to Museum members.
