Chamber concert meets dance party at this playful afternoon performance featuring contemporary works curated with your inner animal in mind. Unleash the beast within and lose yourself in this mélange of Classical beats, surrendering to the call of the wild

“I moonlighted as a DJ early in my career, so I put together a program that would be like a dance-music mixtape of classical selections. All of the pieces were written in the past few decades and touch on the more primal aspects of human nature. I wanted to create a concert that was more visceral and felt more in your body, less in your head.
— Crier Jae Cosmos Lee
