Civitas Ensemble: In Sympathy - a World Premiere

7:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Pre-Concert Talk with Mischa Zupko

Learn about the scientific and creative process behind Mischa Zupko's revolutionary new composition, In Sympathy, at his presentation before the World Premiere performance.

"At its core, In Sympathy reflects on how resonance as a multifaceted concept relating to sound, science, or society, can illuminate the structures that link seemingly separate entities. Just as the instruments and glasses respond across space through shared frequencies, this piece suggests and allows us to experience that meaningful connection arises not from uniformity, but from the ability to respond, to adapt, and to move in relation to one another. In this way, In Sympathy becomes both a musical and conceptual exploration of what it means to coexist in dynamic and responsive ways.” -Mischa Zupko
