Sospeso's covered a lot of ground over the past four seasons: enough ground that Harvey Weinstein convinced us to split our fifth anniversary concert into two parts.

Once again, we 'present the extreme edge of contemporary music in an entirely new way.' And once again, a 'countdown of ten works, played without pause, is articulated through projected film, live video, and lights on the dark arena of the stage.'

There are several differences from the last show, however. Production desgner Jeff Sugg will (hopefully) not be on grand jury duty this time, so he can actually be there. Where the last show was long and slow, this is short and quick. And the last show certainly didn't have music by Brahms, to say nothing of a thoroughly unauthorized 'instrumental remix' of songs by Björk: thank goodness for our pro bono lawyers.
