PRISMS Festival: Concert 2

The second concert in ASU's PRISMS Festival, featuring the winner of our call for scores, Julie Zhu, as well as works by Yader Ugarte, Becky Brown, Iván-Manuel Tapia Bruno, and ASU composition students Kylar Gardner, Tommy McPhee, Noemy Esparza-Isaacson and R Kelvin McCartney Adesso.

The 2023 PRISMS Contemporary Music Festival presents: Re-Works. This year's festival features an exciting lineup of composers and performers who are exploring the many ways in which music can re-imagine, re-conceive and re-envision existing music, and the diversity that arises from those sonic conversations.From the virtuosic Desahogo by Nicaragua’s Yader Ugarte to the cutting-edge sounds of ASU’s composition faculty, from the monumental Sur Incises by France’s Pierre Boulez to new works by emerging composers and electronic music for ambisonic dome, PRISMS explores the ways in which music can be used to express the unique perspectives of different cultures and how the notion of Re-Work acts as a lens through which to understand these diverse musical traditions.
