Stone and Earth: Edward Cohen Memorial Concert
This memorial to Edward Cohen, the MIT composer and senior lecturer, centers on his 1978 Stone and Earth for mezzo-soprano and string orchestra, sung by Krista River under his longtime collaborator David Hoose. Colleagues and students supply three premieres: Charles Shadle's Song of Removal, a new Marjorie Merryman work and the orchestral version of John Harbison's Four Encores for Stan, with River narrating. Peter Child's 1998 Sinfonietta closes.
$15 general admission; free for MIT ID holders
