Taking Cues From Alex Ross: Brief Notes on “Inuksuit”
Posted by Tobias Carroll Earlier today*, I went to the Park Avenue Armory to see the indoor premiere of John Luther Adams’s Inuksuit. This was part of the Tune-In Festival; I’d also seen Friday’s powerLESS, and have resolved to listen much more to the work of eighth blackbird from now on. I became intrigued by Adams’s music after reading this Alex Ross profile; this evening’s performance was the first time I’d seen any of his works live.
