Whether conjuring echoes of Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Schumann, theatrically exploring sounds on the outside of a piano, playfully tearing apart a percussion set-up, or exploring the vast, expressive possibilities of the string quartet, Widmann’s music takes us to places that seem at once irresistibly new and familiar in ways that profoundly change us.
Experience a rare opportunity to hear Widmann’s complete cycle of five string quartets, the North American premiere of his song cycle, Das Heisse Herz, and Widmann’s own solo clarinet recital.

not prepare) artists to work with galleries or to run galleries? How should the MFA best prepare
artists to participate in the art world? What are the relative merits of different platforms for
