After a two-year hiatus, NakedEye is back with new music exploring personal identity, the politics of freedom, and sound. The group premieres two new works. “I Am Waiting”, by NYC-based composer/pianist Jerome Kitzke, a semi theatrical piece based on poems by Lawrence Ferlinghetti with guest actor/singer Lisa Karrer; and “The Secret of Growth” for ensemble and video by West Coast-based cellist/composer Theresa Wong. One of America’s great musical poets, George Crumb, passed away on February 6 of this year, and so to pay tribute to him, pianist Ju-Ping Song performs his bewitching “Eine kleine Mitternacht Musik” (A Little Midnight Music) – an inspired nod to Thelonious Monk.

Please join us in person or via livestream.
