The SONAR ensemble opens its fifth season with a program inspired by youth, innocence and vitality. Play "I Spy" with David Lang in Child – an epic work inspired by the composer's childhood memories. Play Catch with Thomas Adés, where the ensemble must actually catch the clarinetist and force her to sit down! Sing campfire songs with Charles Ives and explore the miracle of childbirth with Kaija Saariaho. Also launching this season is SONAR's Project Antiphony – an exploration of new music's early roots with forward-thinking Baroque music. This program's featured Baroque composer is H. I. F. Biber with one of his Mystery Sonatas. This concert may be young at heart but five-year-old SONAR doesn't mess around – don't miss the exciting opening of our 2014-2015 season!
