The program light readings features excerpts from Qasim Ali Naqvi’s choral work Fjoloy and the world premiere of a MusicNOW commission by Mead Composer-in-Residence Samuel Adams. After curators Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek preview the 2016-17 MusicNOW lineup, the concert closes with pianist Vicky Chow in Tristan Perich’s Surface Image, a sprawling work that Rolling Stone magazine has described as a “dizzying, disorienting, 63-minute symphony for piano and 1-bit pixels.”
