Described by The New Yorker’s Alex Ross as “one of the most original musical thinkers of the new century,” John Luther Adams is a composer whose music and cultural worldview is inspired by nature and environmental concerns. Adams curates a week-long project that draws on his broad cultural interests with performances of his music at various locations on the Upper West Side, as well as a literary event, piano recital, and documentary film screening.
Lisa Moore performs a special program put together by John Luther Adams of piano works by composers who have influenced and informed his work. Composers include Peter Garland, Lois V Vierk, Jim Fox, Michael Byron, David Mahler, and Adams himself.
