The first concert of the year from Michigan Chamber Players is curated by Joseph Gramley and is framed around ways of listening. How do we as artists, educators and performers cultivate an environment of listening that welcomes the audience into an active and inspired participation in the concert experience. This program will feature a wide swath of SMTD faculty and graduate students. New Director of Chamber Music Matt Albert will be featured in a new commission from Silk Road Ensemble member Kojiro Umezaki. Works by Cage, Philidor, Xenakis, Prince and others will also be presented.
