About this event

Eric Whitacre鈥檚 new work Deep Field is inspired by images taken from the Hubble Space Telescope 鈥� and offers the audience a chance to participate in a novel way. In his popular Cloudburst, too, you can help create the sound of rain falling. Plus, American classics by Copland and Gershwin.

Download the free Deep Field smartphone app from the App Store and Google Play before the concert and be part of the performance.
