The world premiere of Stephen Prina’s Concerto for Modern, Movie, and Pop Music for Ten Instruments and Voice will take place this Thursday, March 18th, at the Contemporary.   Just a few days ago we had a nine-foot grand concert Steinway, which is truly stunning, installed in the performance space.  At the moment, a rehearsal for the event is taking place downstairs and, I assure you, this music is worth hearing.

Prina is not only a talented visual artist, his photographs, drawings, and video work appear in our Main Galleries, but he’s also an extremely talented musician, having released albums both under his own name and as part of the band The Red Krayola.  His Concerto combines an amazing complexity of sounds from flutes, violins, clarinets, and more, with his soothing voice merging with and complementing the score.  Get ready for a night that will engage your senses both visually and aurally.  We hope to see you there.

Doors open at 7:00 pm and the concert begins at 8:00 pm.  Admission is free; seating is limited.
