Eurydice

What the Press is Saying...
"The Wilma production, with its spare,
abstract, sloping sets and stylized acting – all superior to last year’s
production in New York – lent itself the unorthodox sound envelope created by
four voices and solo cello in tight-knit, even microtonal harmonies…Composer
Twining’s Eurydice remarkably transcends the greatness that audiences may
already know…Great music dwells where least expected!"
