PREMIER PERFORMERS

Upshaw & Golijov

Four Concerts. One Series.

Shattering Expectations.

The 2007/2008 Premier Performers Series presents work by four artists whose vision and force have reshaped musical practice in the contemporary era.

From the Kronos Quartet’s haunting meditations on 9/11 to the miraculous piano work of Leon Fleisher, from Osvaldo Golijov’s lush arrangements of Spanish folk songs to the heady interaction of Andrew Manze and Beethoven, these shows brim with virtuosity that aims to challenge as well as enchant. Eclectic, aggressive, alive: these four events promise to transform expectations of what classical music can do.

Premier Performers: In Durham, at Duke, the most innovative music in the world.
