Be sure not to miss this extraordinary collaborative duo featuring violinist/composer/visual artist Leah Asher and pianist/composer Christopher Goddard. Aether Eos explores a kaleidoscope of expressive states in a varied program of solos and duets, culminating in the bracing modernism of Michael Hersch’s major 2003 work, the wreckage of flowers.

As always, No Exit’s concerts are free and open to the public. Adventurous listeners are welcome!
