Contemporary Music Festival @ Goethe

The Goethe-Institut Boston continues its ongoing exploration of contemporary music from Germany with this music festival in collaboration with musicians, composers and musicologists from Germany and the US. Four programs, each curated and performed by guest artists, showcase composers and musicians from Germany’s contemporary music scene and relate stories from history, personal relationships and transatlantic cooperation. You will hear works rarely heard in Boston by Germany-based composers like Helmut Lachenmann, Walter Zimmermann, Isabel Mundry, and Rebecca Saunders alongside the US premiere of a work by Harvard PhD student Isaac Blumfield. Join us for one or all four concerts which feature performances for percussion, cello, violin, piano and voice. Post-concert receptions provide an opportunity to connect with the musicians, composers and other audience members over a glass of wine.
