Pre Opera Talk: Europeras 3 & 4 March 8 2024

Before the premiere of Detroit Opera's Europeras 3 & 4, Arthur White talks with Detroit Bureau of Sound-artist and cactus virtuoso Zac Bru-who explains the compositional use of silence in music and more. Their performance of Cage's "Child of Tree," played live on an amplified cactus during the talk, marks the 49th anniversary of the premiere of Cage's piece right across the street at Detroit's Music Hall.
