Georges Aperghis<br />
and the New Generation<br />
Saturday, May 26,<br />
7:30 pm<br />
Georges Aperghis’s<br />
aggressive yet playful<br />
experimental music<br />
pushes the boundaries<br />
between classical performance<br />
and performance<br />
art. The ensemble performs<br />
the <strong>Chicago</strong> premiere<br />
<strong>of</strong> a major new<br />
ICE-commissioned work<br />
from Aperghis, plus two<br />
new chamber works by<br />
ICElab 2012 composers<br />
Patricia Alessandrini and<br />
Juan Pablo Carreño.
