‘Field of Infinite Forms’ to celebrate Dell Hall, Long Center
Noted composer Christopher Theofanidis has announced the title of his new work written specifically for the Dell Hall at the new Long Center for the Performing Arts.
‘Field of Infinite Forms’ is a commission from the Austin Symphony Orchestra — a brilliant idea of ASO music director Peter Bay who conceived of celebrating the new hall with new music written specifically for it. Hey — Bay knows what it takes to keep it real in the self-proclaimed Live Music Capital of the World.
‘Field of Infinite Forms’ will premiere Sept. 19-20. There are five movements to the 16-17 minute piece: Introit; Superunison; Hall of Mirrors; They Listened, Trembling; Dazzler of Heaven. Theofanidis is collaborating with electroacoustic music pioneer Mark Wingate.
The Dallas-born Theofanidis received lots of attention earlier this year for “The Refuge,” his massive musical and community event for the Houston Grand Opera inspired by Houston’s fabulous polyglot immigrant community.
