A Golden Wire
Parker Ramsay and Miranda Cuckson each return to PS21 after thrilling performances in 2025. Here, they’ll perform in our special, intimate configuration with all seating on the stage.
Featuring pieces by Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas (whose “microtones result in opulent and otherworldly harmonies that at times seem impossible to have been produced by acoustic instruments” – The New York Times) and New Orleans born Chris Trapani (“a latter-day, postmodernist Bartók, repurposing his sources to creative and imaginative ends” — Gramophone), the performance promises a transfixing menu of contemporary flavors in an up-close and immersive setting.
