Composers Concordance continues its commitment to adventurous new music with a solo cello performance by Sahara von Hattenberger on Friday, June 5 at Gallery MC, New York, NY.

The program will include:

A Special Education by Randall Woolf — a work based on the story "Flowers For Algernon;
The Circadian Calendar, Book Two for Solo 'Cello, Op. 35 by George N. Gianopoulos;
Holy Human Stupidity, Batman by Gene Pritsker — a work blending humor with sharp commentary, delivered through inventive cello techniques and theatrical flair.
