(UN)SEEN: a concert in the dark

February 2, 2009

c:n players joined with a lecture by neurologist Chris Brubaker, PhD as he guided audience members in the unique experience of hearing live classical music without seeing the performance or other audience members. The program showed how loss of one sense can change a listener’s response, reaction and understanding through the others. Works performed were:

  • Handel/Halvorsen: Passacaglia

  • Bach: Brandenberg Concerto No. 4 in G major, BWV 1049

  • Koechlin: Sonata for Two Flutes, Op. 75

  • Part: Fratres for String Quartet

  • Golijov: Last Round

The last piece was played in the dark, then repeated with the lights on.
