“In An Expanding Universe” is a sextet’s answer to the question: is our world now smaller or bigger? As we all stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic, we can no longer make music with those outside our own households, but we can explore music and ideas with people and cultures around the world and look out into the galaxy for a sense of meaning and wonder.

Featuring solo and chamber works by composers from Cuba, Poland, Syria, and Australia, composers of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean descent, and works inspired by Armenia and the stars and galaxies, “In An Expanding Universe” presents global musical perspectives in honor of Resonance Works’ commitment to equity by sharing music by creators of multiple genders, races, nationalities, and sexual orientations.

Violinist Dawn Posey and pianist Jack Kurutz will present a program that explores early 20th century repertoire for violin and piano composed by William Grant Still, Samuel Coleridge Taylor, Florence Price and Adolphus Hailstork.

Join us LIVE after the premiere for a virtual reception and conversation with the artists!
