CIM+MOCA "Give Up the Ghost"

CIM's New Music Ensemble, directed by Keith Fitch, returned to MOCA to present SUDDENLY IT'S EVENING, featuring music inspired by the act of "giving up the ghost." Prior to the event, Fitch spoke with ClevelandClassical.com about the inspiration for the project.

The program featured Madrigals, Books II & III by George Crumb, Suddenly It's Evening by Donald Erb and Cortege by Harrison Birtwistle. Each work reflects on the composers' experiences with death, providing a fitting counterpoint to MOCA's exhibition Dirge. MOCA's galleries and its Gund Commons will be transformed into dynamic performance spaces, creating an engaging dialogue between art, architecture and music.
