UPCOMING PERFORMANCES

Tell-Tale Heart by Stewart Copeland
Van Gogh by Michael Gordon

Delirious. Manic. Damned.   A double bill with a meticulous murderer and a self-condemned artist. Stewart Copeland, drummer/founder of the rock band The Police, and Michael Gordon, Bang on a Can co-founder, take these stories to the edge of rock, jazz, and modernism.


Macbeth by Ernest Bloch

Ambitious. Violent. Treacherous. Macbeth, incited by witches' prophecies, trades honor for power.  Doomed by his own deeds, he is killed by a man "not born of a woman." Ernest Bloch's lavish and highly dramatic 1906 score creates the perfect tone for this bone-chilling thriller. Learn more about our Coincidence, "Ambition or Obsession?", here!
