Windows shape the way we view the world, whether through the subjects they frame looking out or looking in, the images they depict in lead and glass and color, or in the materials with which those images and frames are constructed. On March 27th, Great Noise Ensemble presents a concert showcasing the views afforded and colored by these prismatic portals: Tiffany Windows, featuring the music of Arlene Sierra, David Dzubay, Don Freund, Stephen Paulus and Libby Larsen.

Arlene Sierra’s Tiffany Windows and David Dzubay’s Vision are carefully constructed reflections on the subjects of the windows of two churches in New York, celebrating their form, function and construction. Libby Larsen’s Holy Roller is a revival sermon captured in the sounds of the alto saxophone and piano, and Don Freund’s Hard Cells uses hard faceted blocks of sound to construct the ideas which it contains within its frame.

Join us for a concert which shines the light on new and established icons who can and will frame our perspectives for years to come: tickets are available at BrownPaperTickets.com or at the door: $20 General, $10 Students and Seniors, and free for Catholic University students, faculty and staff with valid CUA I.D.
