New Music Detroit returns to the Andy Arts Center (3000 Fenkell) with an evening of contemporary classical music culminating with George Crumbs spellbinding "Voice of the Whale."

This evening will also feature the premiere of Desiccated by Fjóla Evans. A Canadian/Icelandic composer and cellist, her work explores the visceral physicality of sound while drawing inspiration from patterns of natural phenomena. Inspired by the patterns of cracks in drying mud, Desiccated for piano and percussion builds a world from withered attacks and husky buzzings.
