David Lang, an accomplished musician and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, is premiering his latest work, 'Before and After Nature,' which serves as a meditation on the natural world. In preparation, Lang collaborated with environmental scholars, Stanford faculty, and students to develop prose that informed the project. This prose was then combined with voice recordings and visuals from video artist Tal Rosner, creating a multi-sensory experience. This premiere at Bing Concert Hall showcases Lang's ability to merge traditional classical elements with modern environmental themes.
Lang's work reflects a unique engagement with the natural world, blending contemporary music with environmental thought, resulting in a rich audio-visual experience.
In crafting 'Before and After Nature,' Lang collaborated with scholars to integrate environmental themes into classical music, challenging traditional perceptions of the genre.
