Partner deal: Pop, classical and jazz meet in Davie Bowie's favorite work

The New World Symphony is pushing the boundaries of classical music in its latest "pay what you wish" concerts.

On Monday, April 29, at 7 p.m., Molly Turner, New World Symphony Conducting Fellow, presents Breath and Pule: Reich's Music for 18 Musicians.

This one-hour performance centers on Steve Reich's 1976 minimalist work that blurs boundaries among pop, classical and world music. A favorite of David Bowie, the piece has a meditative psychoacoustic effect, which will be enhanced by expansive visuals created by Badie Khaleghian and projected on the sails of the Michael Tilson Thomas Performance Hall.

Tickets for this performance are pay what you wish, with free tickets available for those who need them. Learn more and reserve your seats at nws.edu/breath.
