1. “Decasia”
January 25–27 at the Angel Orensanz Center for the Arts
Orensanz’s haunting setting should prove ideal for Michael Gordon’s dark, innovative score to a movie made from ancient, fading silent-film stock. It screens with live orchestral accompaniment.
2. John Corigliano
January 25 at Symphony Space
The always intriguing composer presents his newest project: a song cycle based on seven Bob Dylan lyrics.
3. “Mozart Project”
January 27 at Merkin Concert Hall
The renegade musicians Matt Haimovitz (cello) and Uri Caine (piano) gather their avant-garde friends to launch this exploration of Mozart’s music, in both pure and deconstructed forms.
