About The Performance
This fall, Miller Theatre celebrates the 70th birthday of New York musical icon John Zorn.
The season opens with a spotlight on Zorn’s writing for strings. Eight trusted interpreters of his music join forces for three virtuosic and important works, all written in 2020, including the mini opera, The Gas Heart, for two cellists and two percussionists.
