Sun Dogs: Filmmaker and Composer Pairings

An atmospheric phenomenon created by refracted light, a sun dog is striking proof that, when natural conditions are right, familiar elements can shift the way we see the world. This prismatic collaboration similarly allows us glimpses of another realm, bringing together inspired composer and filmmaker pairs to create short-format films presented alongside newly-created music for live orchestra. Featuring compositions by Arooj Aftab, Devonté Hynes, and more, performed by the electrifying new-music ensemble Alarm Will Sound, this boundless exploration of image and sound imagines how stories can be told both musically and visually from equal footing.

This production is recommended for audiences age 17 and older.
