MUSE/IQUE Mashes it Up at Debut Concert Under the Stars

Rachael Worby opens a new "Orchestra for the iPod Generation" in a program featuring guest soprano Jessye Norman, Caltech physicist Julia Greer, Actress Angela Bassett and everything from Boxer to Thriller.

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

A Caltech physicist rapping on nanomechanics while
performing a Bach partita on the piano? Michael Jackson's
Thriller sharing the stage with legendary soprano Jessye
Norman? The world premieres of new works by multi-award-
winning Pasadena-based composer Peter Knell and the very
young, very-evolving Ben Lear, alongside the best of Monk,
WHAT: Gershwin, Ellington?

No, it's not your average classical music concert. But then
again, Rachael Worby isn't your average conductor. And her
new orchestra, MUSE/IQUE, is the opposite of average: a
bold experiment in unconventionality that she calls "the
orchestra of the future - the 2.0 version."

(TV Crews need to arrive at 7:15 to set-up, however there

Norman with a poem by Maya Angelou "I know Why the Caged
Bird Sings"
