About the Show
The Nouveau Classical Project, an ensemble making headlines for “bringing a refreshing edge to the widely conservative genre” (VICE), will premiere new electro-acoustic works and celebrate the marriage of tradition and technology in Currents. The concert juxtaposes contrasting compositional styles in an eclectic program by composers who thrive in both the classical and pop worlds.
