HAPPENING TODAY:
Two free events this evening.
At 7, No Exit presents Aether Eos, the duo of violinist/composer/visual artist Leah Asher and pianist/composer Christopher Goddard. Their program at KSU’s Ludwig Recital Hall includes 21st-century works by Tonia Ko (plush earth in four pieces), Carrie Frey (Seagrass/Reed), Linda Caitlin Smith (Unbroken), and Michael Hersch (the wreckage of flowers) as well as a visit to the 1920s via Giacinto Scelsi (Chemin du Coeur).
Another pairing of old and new comes at 7:30 with a CIM Music for Food Benefit Concert at Mixon Hall. The program includes works written within the last five years — Reena Esmail’s Inconvenient Wounds and Shawn Okpebholo’s Rise — along with Giuseppe Verdi’s “Tower Scene Duet” from Il Trovatore and Robert Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E-flat, Op. 4.
