Sound of Late

Sound of Late's contemporary classical concerts feature exhilarating performances and lively conversations with the musicians. Their latest concert at N.E.W. Expressive Works in Portland is inspired by the writing of James Joyce, and ranges from Arvo Pärt's mystical minimalism and Ruth Crawford Seeger's angular music to the world premiere of American composer Alan Shockley's "Book of the Dark", commissioned by and composed for the ensemble. Gather your friends, grab an included drink and wander through a landscape of sound that feels at once wildly fresh and invitingly familiar.
