Richard Reed Parry and Bryce Dessner’s new collaborative work for chamber orchestra and film takes as its inspiration the wave cycles of the world’s oceans. Composers of diverse backgrounds with a history in experimental art music, Parry and Dessner also are members of the popular rock bands Arcade Fire and The National, respectively. The music, composed directly to the actual rhythms of waves, is performed in sync with a film made by photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto, who created an iconic series of seascapes in the 1980s. Also on the program is Thomas Adès’s imaginative Chamber Symphony, one of the contemporary British composer’s earliest works.
Tickets to this event include Museum admission. This performance will take place again on Saturday, November 7 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets: http://met.org/
