Strange News North American Premiere by Rolf Wallin and Josse de Paauw

Black Angels for Electric String Quartet by George Crumb

After the triumphant Chicago premiere of Paul Dresher's The Tyrant last season, CCM returns to the Museum of Contemporary Art for the North American premiere of Strange News.

Inspired by news reports of child soldiers in Africa, Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin created this musical documentary together with director Josse de Paauw for actor, ensemble, surround sound and video screen.

Despite the harrowing stories that the artists captured through interviews in Uganda and The Democratic Republic of Congo, the work offers a glimmer of hope in the ceremonies of song and dance through which these brutalized children are re‐integrated into society.
