    About This Event

    Kali Malone presents Does Spring Hide Its Joy at Pioneer Works with Lucy Railton and Stephen O’Malley. The program emphasizes careful construction, duration and timbre: Malone's focus on arrangement and sustained form meets Railton's ensemble-minded attention to interlocking parts and O’Malley's work at the edge of song and sustained sound, placing texture and density over spectacle.
