Subtitled “In Six Parts,” Neikrug’s work is designed to highlight the virtuosity of each individual musician. Since our centennial season, commissioning new works is part of the Performing Arts Series’ mission to support the future of chamber music. The work is paired with Brahms’ Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34.

    Hip Hop: Urban Cadence: Street Scenes from Lagos and Johannesburg

    Urban Cadence tells the multifaceted stories of two urban environments—Lagos, Nigeria and Johannesburg, South Africa—experienced through the artistic expressions of photography and video.

    African cities are growing rapidly, and these two cities have experienced this growth in diverse yet fascinating ways: the first as a mega-city, the latter as a center of industrial development. The street scenes in this exhibition represent the complex narratives of these urban areas: tales of migration, labor, desperation, success, hope, and imagination among others.
