Brightwork Ensemble is bringing back one of last season’s more popular programs to the celebrate the kickoff concert of our new residency with Sierra Madre Playhouse: Pop Up! 

Pop Up! is an evening of boundary-breaking chamber music that blurs the line between pop and the avant-garde, reimagining classics by The Beatles, Sonic Youth, Prince and more through the lens of cutting-edge contemporary composition. The program features works by Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony Davis, Nina Shekhar, Kurt Rohde, Dana Kaufman, and Luciano Berio, fusing familiar melodies with the exploratory textures of 21st-century chamber music.
