The World Meets at Cabrillo!
Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music Announces its 56th Season
After Dixieland
Saturday night’s concert features works by composers Vivian Fung, William Bolcom, Kristin Kuster and Gabriela Lena Frank.
San Jose-based, JUNO Award-winning, Canadian composer Vivian Fung’s evocative, 10-minute work, Dust Devils, kicks off tonight’s concert. The composer describes this work as “the journey of emotional swirls in my mind, sometimes calm, but more often than not, full of raw and intense energy.” The Toronto Star wrote “Dust Devils is like a good abstract painting, where one can appreciate the techniques used in its composition. Fung is a clever orchestrator, using all sorts of subtle layering to achieve her effects.”
