Colors and shapes, portraits and architecture: the musical reflects the visual in Colors Of Cool, presented by Great Noise Ensemble on March 5 at Catholic University’s historic Ward Hall.

This concert presents the music of five composers:

Geoffrey Gordon’s Cool Red Cool (a jazz and improvisation-tinged response to Andy Warhol’s Self Portrait (1986)),

Jonathan Russell’s Night Dance

Blair Goins’s Chamber Concerto (written for Great Noise Ensemble)

Jacob Cooper’s Not Just Another Piece For Solo Bass Drum

Harold Meltzer’s Brion (inspired by the colors and architectural shapes of the Brion-Vega Cemetery in San Vito d’Altivole, not far from Venice.)

Tickets available through OvationTix.
