Thursday night marks the return of new music at P.S. 122. The International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), one of the most exciting groups on the new music scene, will begin a run of Dear Land, an evening of two compelling works of contemporary music. One is the World Premiere of Chinese-American composer Du Yun’s (pictured above) new work Zolle. the other is an innovative staging of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’ Eight Songs for a Mad King.

Combining a chamber orchestra and operatic voices with stunning video, cool sculpture-like costumes and dramatic staging, Dear Land will be an amazing evening.

ICE performs on the following schedule:

October 27-30
Thursday-Saturday at 8:00 p.m.
Saturday at 3:00 p.m. and Sunday at 5:00 p.m.
Tickets are $20/$15/$10 (click to buy)
