Shake off that winter chill with an evening of Rituals, Spells, and Charms
The program features the dynamic Radhe Radhe: Rites of Holi, an homage to Igor Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, created by jazz pianist/composer Vijay Iyer and filmmaker Prashant Bhargava. Present Music performs this suite in live counterpoint with cinematic episodes from the eight days and nights the Holi festivities in Mathura, India. This will not be the measured rhythms of a classical concert hall, but the breathless energy of a street festival, where people throw brilliantly shaded powders on each other. Vibrant. Chaotic. Incandescent.
You’ll be mesmerized by Canadian “musical scientist” Nicole Lizée’s film-composition Hitchcock Études (an ode to The Birds), groove to the funky footwork of Jiln Patton’s Little Black Book, and move to Judd Greenstein’s infectious Jitter Pocket.

The Curiosity Cabinet celebrates the legacy of Edgar Allan Poe for Halloween at the Morgan Library Museum. The evening features two striking rescorings of experimental American silent films from 1928—THE TELL-TALE HEART and THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER —performed live by an instrumental ensemble. The score for THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER highlights the film’s surreal visual landscape, which is achieved through stark color contrasts, intricate layering, optical distortion, and prism-shot footage.
Complementing these cinematic works, the program also presents an intimate musical setting of Poe’s lesser-known poem, EVENING STAR, and a semi-theatrical presentation of his iconic poem THE RAVEN, featuring chamber ensemble, and narrator.
