Performed by a 12-piece band, includes electric guitars, synthesizers, drums, strings, woodwinds, and soprano, Stetson's "Sorrow" employs a contemporary sonic palate, while maintaining the heartbreaking core of the composition.

This event is presented in conjunction with Colin Stetson's performance of SORROW - A Reimagining of Gorecki's Third Symphony on April 14 at the Michigan Theater. Tickets available at ums.org
