About The Event

The Cleveland international conference celebrating the Pierre Boulez centenary culminates with a concert of virtuoso chamber works by one of the most influential avant-garde artists of the 20th century. Produced by the Cleveland State University School of Music in collaboration with the Cleveland Orchestra, the Paul Sacher Foundation, and the Cleveland Museum of Art, an all-star ensemble of performers from across the country, under the direction of Andrew Rindfleisch, presents this all-Boulez program of seminal modernist compositions.

Program:

Incises for solo piano, featuring pianist Shuai Wang

Dérive I for six players

Dérive II for eleven players
