As part of their Soundings series, the Nasher Sculpture Center will present Music from Yellow Barn: Percussionist Ian Rosenbaum and the Parker String Quartet.

The play of tension and release is a vitally important element in our experience of music, and tonality, the hierarchical relationship between pitches or harmonies, is one framework that guides us. Much is asked of an audience experiencing new work with sounds that are less familiar, but the ear is quick and can adapt to new sounds when context is there to guide us.

Percussionist Ian Rosenbaum and the Parker String Quartet will lead a sonic adventure through tonalities at once ancient and new, sculpted by Bach, Beethoven, Berio, Webern and Wood.
