Family memories, spiralling galaxies and a god of song, tormented by fate. In the orchestral works of Missy Mazzoli, private emotions inspire visions that span time and space. Dalia Stasevska conducts the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra as the composer introduces four of her most powerful (and personal) orchestral pieces.

Pianist, visionary, musical dramatist and Grammy-nominated composer, Missy Mazzoli has been called 鈥渢he 21st century鈥檚 gatecrasher of new classical music鈥�. She鈥檚 an artist for whom the personal is political, and in whose hands the intimate stories of modern America take on an epic scale and a global significance. 鈥淲ith each work, I endeavour to provide a new language for thoughts and feelings we suppress in everyday life鈥� she says - 鈥渢o provide space in which we can process the overwhelming nature of the world鈥�.

With participation from the composer herself, this Total Immersion day explores the whole range of her work: a close encounter with one of the most singular 鈥� and potent 鈥� voices of the new millennium.
