SFSOUNDGROUP presents a concert honoring recently departed composers. The first half features works by the Russian composer SOFIA GUBAIDULINA (1931 – 2025), known for her spiritual and dramatic works. The second half includes a circular breathing wind duo by the pioneering minimalist composer TOM JOHNSON (1939–2024), and a work for improvisers and tape by the celebrated composer and conductor PETER EÖTVÖS (1944–2024).
The evening also includes Instruments II by MORTON FELDMAN, a prime example of his evolving -- and often overlooked -- output from the 1970's.
Rounding out the program with a living composer, sfSound's own MONICA SCOTT presents a recent composition for cello and piano.
