  Thursday, October 19, 2017         The two programs presented this weekend are
                                     juxtaposed by their focus and scope, designed to
  5:00 PM                            open the listener’s eyes and ears to the
                                     numerous shades of intimacy and perspective
                                     that can be created by live musical performance.
  Saturday, October 21, 2017         "The Space Around You" looks beyond the
  6:00 PM                            individual performers and draws the audience
                                     into an experience that interacts with the
                                     inanimate body of James Turrell’s Joseph’s Coat.
  The Ringling Museum                It provides a macro view of our surroundings,
  5401 Bay Shore Rd                  mirroring the atmosphere and changing light of

                                     does the opposite, focusing intensely on the
                                     individual performer’s voice as virtuoso and
                                     soloist: a micro view of each performer and their
                                     instrument as they weave a journey through
                                     deeply personal human and musical expression.
