The Meta Simulacrum Vol. 1: Artist Conversation

Commissioned by Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
A copresentation of Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, The Great Northern and Walker Art Center

“Brittelle has been drawing from his varied experiences in classical music, punk rock, and electronica to produce silo-bombing music that is at once free-ranging, formally adventurous, unconventionally beautiful, and a joyful thrill to experience.” —The Nation

Ahead of the world premiere co-presented by the Walker this May, join Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s Nate Bachhuber and composer William Brittelle in an exploration and meditation on the creation of the Meta Simulacrum, Vol 1. This live-streamed conversation features a dialogue with preeminent climatologist William deBuys, who’s writing inspired the work’s inception, as well as readings and music from members Will Johnson and Holland Andrews of this exciting supergroup. The full performance of this project will be streamed on May 2, 2021. 

How to view: The conversation will be available to view online for free on YouTube beginning at 7:30 pm (CST) Feb 5.
