Join artist Lynne Avadenka for the closing reception of her solo exhibition "Intimations" with a very special music performance by an ensemble Virago, on Saturday, November 23 from 7-8:30PM.

Founded in 2018 at the University of Michigan School of Music, Virago is an ensemble that performs contemporary chamber music and free improvisation. They aim to introduce new audiences to the compelling art of free improvisation, and to collaborate with composers with similar missions to create new works for their unique instrumentation.

They are currently working with Detroit-based composer Harriet Steinke to create an evening length, multi-movement composition that incorporates elements of improvisation to be premiered in February 2020.

Committed to educational outreach, Virago has developed a workshop for musicians of all levels which introduces improvisation as a means of gaining instrumental facility, developing active listening skills, and empowering individual creativity.

This event is free and open to the public.

We hope you will join us!
