  • This event has ended

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

Experience the most extreme organ trio alongside one of John Zorn’s newest ensembles in the same evening. New Masada Quartet freshly interprets classic compositions from the Masada songbooks (with the composer on saxophone) while the genre-defying Simulacrum trio performs in a style that can be best described as “heavy metal…with an organ” (PopMatters).
