Out To Lunch
Wednesday, May 6, 2009 at 8 p.m.
They say there's a fine line between genius and madman. And one thing all the composers on our season finale have in common is that they've been accused of being the latter at one time or another. Buying your first album because the dude on the cover looks like a mad scientist; amplifiying your own brain waves and making them an instrument; and writing a piece for string quartet and helicopters? That's not crazy—that's cool!
Tickets are $10, general admission and $5 for Contemporary Museum members and students with a valid ID.
