COMPOSER PORTRAITS

John Zorn at 70:
Music for Strings

As prolific as he is provocative, John Zorn returns to Miller Theatre, where he and the venue have enjoyed a several-decades-long collaboration. This fall, Miller Theatre celebrates the 70th birthday of this New York icon with three exceptional concerts that explore the many facets of Zorn’s oeuvre, featuring the incredible artists with whom he closely collaborates.

The season opens with a spotlight on Zorn’s writing for strings. Eight trusted interpreters of his music join forces for three virtuosic and important works, all written in 2020, including the mini opera, The Gas Heart, for two cellists and two percussionists.
