Curated and conducted by Brian Current, this special concert honours the extraordinary legacy of Sofia Gubaidulina (1931–2025) with a performance of Introitus, her deeply spiritual concerto for piano and chamber orchestra. Also featured are two bold contemporary works: Black Ice by Rashaan Allwood, a visceral reflection on unseen danger and structural inequality, and Ominous by Vivian Fung, a tense, vibrant work that explores precariousness and urgency through vivid textures. Together, these pieces explore vulnerability, voice, and transcendence through three distinct and powerful lenses.
