US-China Music Institute of the Bard College Conservatory of Music Presents
China Now Music Festival: Composing the Future
7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
The seventh annual China Now Music Festival, Composing the Future, presents a concert opera by visionary composer Hao Weiya. Hao’s AI’s Variation, Opera of the Future is a science fiction–themed drama for three voices and chamber orchestra and is the second installment of his chamber opera trilogy. AI’s Variation tells the story of a troubled artist who allows his identity to be ‘enhanced’ by AI but then struggles with the consequences in his personal life.
The first half of the program features a performance by the dynamic young musicians of the Bard East/West Ensemble presenting newly commissioned works for Chinese and Western instruments, with a special appearance by the guzheng and guitar combo Duo Chinoiserie.
