MR. MARINETTI’S CURIOSITY CABINET

Friday, September 7, 7:30 p.m.

First Central Congregational Church of Christ

421 South 36th St., Omaha

 

ARTSaha! 2007 kicked off with this musical curio where the audience could explore futurist themes in a light-hearted presentation of intimate modern music. The program included pieces by Henry Cowell, Charles Wuorinen, Olga Neuwirth and others, and the audience was free to roam around the campus of First Central Church encountering the many curiosities presented by ANALOG arts ensemble.

 

SEE!

…a piano played from the inside out brand new music from Europe radio waves transformed before your very eyes…
