Missy Mazzoli says of her piece "Ecstatic Science:" "the 'science' behind the notes provides a frame for a persistent, bubbling energy, a scaffold for the 'ecstatic' gestures that eventually consume everything else." I think you’ll hear how this piece got its name. Also, music from Anna Clyne that I’m willing to bet will be in your head for the rest of the evening. Arvo Part, Philip Glass, Valerie Coleman, and more - there’s always more. So much music for your hungry ears!
