Into the Mystic

Into the Mystic features music by composers from around the world inspired by religion, spirituality and altered states of consciousness.

From Xiaogang Ye's evocative depiction of the hallucinogenic datura plant to James Primosch's sparse, intensely religious, hymn-like string quartet to Jing Zhous musical evocations of Chinese Buddhism, Into the Mystic is a transportive concert experience

Pteris Vasks sublimely gorgeous Meditation opens this concert which will also include Andrián Pertout's Rishis and Saints for prepared piano and cello, Seth Boustead's The Numinous inspired by C.G. Jung's work on mythic archetypes, and Ross Edwards' charged evocation of a Koori sacred place in Australia.

Join us a half hour before the concert, at 7:00, for an open reading of the first installment in a new piece being composed for us by David Smooke for our latest Composer Alive commissioning project.

This is also our first concert in our new venue: the Davis Theater in Lincoln Square and we're really excited about our new digs!
