Composer Portraits

John Zorn at 70
Barbara Hannigan + John Zorn

Thursday, November 16, 2023, 8PM
Miller Theatre at Columbia University

This fall, Miller Theatre celebrates the 70th birthday of New York musical icon John Zorn.

One of today’s leading sopranos, the extraordinary Barbara Hannigan teams up with a cast of new music superstars to perform five of John Zorn’s recent vocal works. This incredibly ambitious evening of song includes Star Catcher, a surrealistic fantasy that is both notated and improvised, which premiered last fall in Germany.
