Galina Ustvolskaya: Piano Sonata no. 6 performed by Cheryl Seltzer of Continuum Ensemble

The Kitchen, 512 W 19th Street

Composed in 1988, Piano Sonata no. 6 is one of Galina Ustvolskaya’s most challenging compositions. The score consists largely of tone clusters and demands the performer aggressively strike the instrument, thereby speaking to the turbulence and violence at the end of the Soviet era.

This performance will take place during the Opening Reception for the exhibition S/N on Friday, May 22, 5–8pm. Admission is free. Seating is limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
