Reflect on the human connection to the natural and spiritual world in this special performance featuring a combination of video projections, the written word and music. Maya Beiser, a cellist “with virtuoso chops, rock-star charisma, and an appetite for pushing her instrument to the edge of avant-garde adventurousness” (The Boston Globe), performs David Lang’sWorld to Come, a meditation on the life and death of the soul, composed specifically for her. BMF Concermaster, Kathryn Hatmaker, follows with the deeply personal work Rest These Hands for solo violin enhanced by Josh Dorman’s stop-motion animations.
