Relache at The Planetarium | 05/28/09

This performance is a special event that is part of the Franklin’s highly publicized exhibition “Galileo, the Medici and the Age of Astronomy.”

We perform selections from Kyle Gann’s “The Planets,” a large-scale, nine-movement work we commissioned in 1994 which the composer completed in 2008. Gann’s music incorporates microtonality and complex rhythms. He was an instrumental figure in New York City’s music scene for several years as critic for The Village Voice, and helped to define the “downtown” style for which Relâche has become known.
