'the passing measures' performed by Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra and the Bienen Contemporary Vocal Ensemble

Choral-orchestral works by three of today’s most creative compositional minds. George Benjamin brings extraordinary color to Caliban’s dream speech from The Tempest. Thomas Adès takes a dramatic look at an American cataclysm that could happen again. David Lang’s expansive elegy invites contemplation and reflection.
