YARN/WIRE performs CATHERINE LAMB
SFSOUNDGROUP performs GEORGE CRUMB + SYLVANO BUSSOTTI

Visiting from New York City, YARN/WIRE performs the West Coast premiere of CATHERINE LAMB'S "Curvo Totalitas" (2017) for two synthesizers, steel sheet, and tam tam. The work creates a sound world that is both meditative and intense, offering the audience a highly personal listening experience.

"Yarn/Wire may well be the most important new music ensemble on the scene today"
— GEORGE GRELLA, NEW YORK CLASSICAL REVIEW


SFSOUNDGROUP remembers GEORGE CRUMB (1929–2022) and SYLVANO BUSSOTTI (1931–2021), two composers known for thier use of non-traditional notation.
