Presenting a lecture-recital featuring George Crumb’s Metamorphoses Book II
$20/pp – all proceeds go to the artist.
Wine and beverages available to enjoy during the show.
In Metamorphoses, Book II (completed in 2020), George Crumb continues his haunting exploration of visual art transformed into sound. Written for amplified piano, the work draws inspiration from a series of paintings, each movement capturing the atmosphere, symbolism, and emotional undercurrents of its source image. Crumb’s distinctive musical language—ethereal sonorities, extended techniques, and poetic theatricality—creates a vivid, immersive listening experience. Both intimate and otherworldly, Metamorphoses, Book II invites audiences into a dreamlike gallery where sound and image merge in mesmerizing dialogue.
