The work, subtitled \u201cThirteen Images from the Dark Land,\u201d was written in response to the Vietnam War and, in Crumb\u2019s own words, is \u201ca kind of parable on our troubled contemporary world.\u201d After hearing Black Angels for the first time in 1973, David Harrington was inspired to form the Kronos Quartet, now one of the most celebrated and influential groups of our time, known for its fearless commitment and groundbreaking artistic vision.<\/p>\n<p>Following the performance, John Schaefer, host of NPR\u2019s Soundcheck, will lead a discussion with the members of the Kronos Quartet and Dr. Steven Bruns, an associate professor of music and expert on George Crumb. The panel will explore music\u2019s ability to reflect on issues past and present with insight and sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets and more information available at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.intrepidmuseum.org\/The-Intrepid-Experience\/Upcoming-Exhibitions\/Intrepid-and-the-Vietnam-War\/Public-Programs.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.intrepidmuseum.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, October 20\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 07:30pm Intrepid Sea, Air &amp; Space Museum Pier 86, W 46th St and 12th Ave, New York, New York 10036<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57290"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57290\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57292,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57290\/revisions\/57292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
