Harry Partch Ensemble
In celebration of the John Baldessari: Pure Beauty exhibition
Tuesday, June 29 | 8:00 pm
The Partch Ensemble is a group that specializes in the music and instruments created by the iconoclastic American composer Harry Partch, whose body of work is among the most sensually alluring and emotionally powerful of the twentieth century. Partch was a true original, and like the artist John Baldessari he reimagined the elements of his art and forged them into new and astonishing combinations. The program will feature a variety of Partch's compositions as well as the world premiere of a work by Victoria Bond composed specifically for Partch's unique, handmade instruments.
