Sounds Modern: The Home Of My Ears, Music to Celebrate the Art of Shirin Neshat


Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

Shirin Neshat presents personal, political, and mythical narratives through images of the human form and calligraphy. Contemporary Iranian women composers embody parallel narratives through sound, human performance, and the calligraphy of music notation. To celebrate the Modern’s exhibition of Neshat’s works, including her series The Home of My Eyes, Sounds Modern presents The Home of My Ears, showcasing the tremendous range and inventiveness of artists in the Iranian Female Composers’ Association.

The concert will take place in the Modern Auditorium at 2:00 pm and will feature music for chamber ensembles, live performances with electronics, and purely electroacoustic works by composers Anahita Abbasi, Martyna Kosecka, Niloufar Kourbakhsh, Bahar Royaee, Aida Shirazi, and Kimia Koochakzadeh-Yazdi, performed by vocalist Sarah Alexander, violist Kathleen Crabtree, violinists Mia Detwiler and Andrew May, flutist Elizabeth McNutt, cellist Kourtney Newton, and saxophonist Kyle Stec; Stephen Lucas and Andrew May will engineer the electronics.
