Notation gives way to improvisation in this exploration of new music curated and performed by Fellows of the Civic Orchestra. The aesthetically diverse program spacializes Buntrock Hall to immerse both audience and performers in an evening that examines how music is written, what constitutes a score, and how musical decisions are made.
