sfSoundgroup performs
Morton Feldman, Sofia Gubaidulina, Tom Johnson, Peter Eötvös, and Monica Scott

sfSOUNDGROUP presents a concert honoring recently departed composers. The first half features works by the Russian composer SOFIA GUBAIDULINA (1931 – 2025), known for her spiritual and dramatic works. The second half includes a circular breathing wind duo by the pioneering minimalist composer TOM JOHNSON (1939–2024), and a work for improvisers and tape by the celebrated composer and conductor PETER EÖTVÖS (1944–2024).

The evening will also include Instruments II by MORTON FELDMAN, a prime example of his often overlooked output in the mid-70’s. sfSound’s own MONICA SCOTT rounds out the program with a duo for cello and piano.
