ABOUT THIS EVENT

Wicked GOAT Season 4 is all about color, creativity, and musical exploration.

Join our first concert as we dive into how composers translate color into sound. There will be vibrant works by Jennifer Higdon, Andy Akiho, and a world premiere by the brilliant Brendan Faegre, among other highlights. If you’ve ever wondered what the color yellow might sound like, or how color can shape music, this is your show.

His music perfectly echoes the landscape he loves: impersonal, relentless, larger than human scale, yet gorgeous, a quiet chaos of colors, suffused with light. It’s not a climate everyone could live in. But for those who want to bathe their ears in an aural aurora borealis while staying warm inside, it’s a spiritual odyssey well worth taking. - Kyle Gann
