7:30 PM: Alarm Will Sound
Missouri Theatre - $18 adults/ $10 students
(Address: 203 South 9th Street, Columbia, MO 65201)
ALARM WILL SOUND IS
“…merging styles, erasing boundaries, championing experimentation and obviously having fun along the way.” – Denver Post
This concert is the culmination of a week of intense collaborative workshops through which Alarm Will Sound continues to bring the work of today's most imaginative composers to Columbia. A festival built around the close cooperation of musicians and composers- in some cases, the composers are the musicians- leads to performances that have an unusual degree of artistic insight. From the modernist Living Toys by Thomas Ades, to Stefan Freund's electronica-inspired Unremixed, the program ranges across many current musical styles. Works by Augusta Read Thomas and Daniel Kellogg have been written specifically for Alarm Will Sound and take advantage of the group's unique talents and special energy. This opening program highlights the importance of the Festival as a venue for the creation of exciting new work.
