This weekend, Seattle Modern Orchestra gives the world premiere of Wang Lu’s The Nothing Man and Other Tales. I wrote about this wonderful composer for The Seattle Times:
“I’ve always been interested in storytelling,” says composer and pianist Wang Lu. “We all crave stories.”
Wang’s latest composition, “The Nothing Man and Other Tales,” taps into this human hunger by recounting a series of stories she discovered in a children’s book that her daughter has been enjoying. Her musical treatment transforms these tales into adventures for adult ears.
