Confident Lines In A Strange Sky is an inaugural classical music concert featuring four world-class composers and 13 renowned musicians performing nine compositions that spotlight historically overshadowed instruments. Instruments find a new confidence with the bassoon on electric guitar pedals, the English horn in a forceful new role and the viola usurping the place of dominance typically occupied by the violin. The program features the concert debut of three film scores, the first performance in over 20 years of Ribbons of Thought, and the combination of respected classical music tropes that highlight solos by instruments that typically act in a more supporting role. A reception and art exhibition featuring mixed media assemblage sculptures by Andrea Overturf will begin at 6 p.m. with the concert to follow at 7 p.m. Note: this event will also be livestreamed.
