Sounds Modern presents The Ear of the Whale
Free Admission
In conjunction with the special exhibition Alex Da Corte: The Whale, Sounds Modern presents music which directly refers to popular and historical works. Like the ephemeral source materials referenced in Da Corte’s paintings, these compositions make evident how the things we identify with—or use to define us—evolve over time.
The New Music Ensemble program at TCU focuses on performing repertoire that ranges from early 20th century classic works to newly-written music by contemporary composers. This performance is free and open to the public.
Directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams, 2014
PG; 102 minutes

“Still profound 18 years after its sell-by date, Blade Runner remains worthy of acclaim and analysis even as it exists in a "future" with very little resemblance to the one that came to pass.” — Zaki Hasan, San Francisco Chronicle
