quatre chiens | un chien andalou at 75

· new york

How does one celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the most notorious short film ever made—Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's Un Chien Andalou? By watching it four times, of course, with live music: four new soundtracks by a diverse group of composers, creating entirely individual homages to this fascinating, outrageous, and unique work of cinematic surrealism.

For Quatre Chiens, Sospeso chose four composers, each representing a different aesthetic in contemporary music, three of which are writing new works especially for this occasion.

With this program, the Ensemble Sospeso and the Film Society of Lincoln Center follow their acclaimed 2003 collaboration, the world premiere of gifted young French composer Bruno Mantovani’s new music to Allan Dwan’s silent masterpiece East Side, West Side
