Contemporary Insights: Music and Conversation
Each Contemporary Insights event focuses on a single piece from the following Monday’s subscription concert. Composers and musicians talk about the piece, and the musicians demonstrate parts of it. After performing the work in its entirety, the musicians will elicit reactions, answer questions, and dialog with the audience.
Share wine and hors d’oeuvres afterwards.

Presidio Interfaith Chapel, San Francisco
Program: Pierre Boulez, Le Marteau sans maître for mezzo-soprano, flute, guitar, viola and three percussion
Widely regarded as Boulez’s first masterpiece, this celebrated, rarely performed work uses familiar Western instruments to create Eastern sounds that would have been exotic to Boulez’s first audiences. Music Director David Milnes and the ensemble, along with guest mezzo-soprano Janna Baty, perform and discuss this piece in the beautifully designed and acoustically superb Presidio Interfaith Chapel.
