Local musicians Er-Gene Kang and UA Fulbright Scholar Wilson Borja provide audiences with an enriching cross-disciplinary performance through their studies of Alfred Schnittke, widely considered to be one of Europe’s most important twentieth-century composers. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Schnittke’s birth, andCall and Response is one event within a larger retrospective of the composer’s work taking place in Northwest Arkansas. The performance uses Schnittke’s short films as one of its points of origin, as well as Andy Warhol’s Hammer and Sickle, a work in Crystal Bridges’ permanent collection that simultaneously addresses cultural legacy and the evolution of perception.
