EXPEDITION #6: Discovery

Presented by Ninth Planet New Music

Graphic from score for "We only want to fly because we're tethered to the earth"

Ninth Planet closes its third season with a program of recent works by Ursula-Kwong Brown, João Pedro Oliveira, and Allen Shearer, as well as a new commission by Darian Donovan Thomas. Each work on the program is about discovery: from voyage into the unknown, to the exploration of the dark energy that fills the universe, to the journeys of the thousands of people riding BART trains every day, to the universal tug of war that exists in each of us, simultaneously propelling us to fly and keeping us tethered to the earth.
