Become Ocean. John Luther Adams overwhelming masterpiece coming to Ottawa!
John Luther Adams wonderful immersive orchestral masterpiece "Become Ocean" is receiving a performance in Ottawa this Saturday! NAC Orchestra principal conductor and musical director Alexander Shelley has completely transformed the NAC Orchestra, both in the more adventurous, diverse programming, and in the much higher performance standards. I never expected a chance to hear this great work in Ottawa. Alexander Shelley and the NACO are continuing to exceed my expectations! Do not miss the chance to hear this work live. It will be transformative. John Luther Adams writes: "The Pieces of the Become trilogy are not symphonic stories about rivers, deserts, or the sea. This is music that aspires to the condition of place. The invitation is for you, the listener, to enter in the music, to lose yourself, and perhaps discover oceans, deserts and rivers of your own".
Tickets as low as $15!
