Co-curated by Susan Narucki and Jonathan Hepfer, the second Palimpsest program of the season is an exploration of evocative works by the Italian modernists Luigi Dallapiccola, Niccolò Castiglioni and Aldo Clementi.  All composers with one foot firmly planted in the 20th century and one in the Renaissance, the pieces presented seamlessly combine rigor and lyricism, chaos and elegance, complexity and simplicity, the current and the eternal.  Featuring the dynamic soloists of the vocal ensemble kallisti the program will also include a new work by Kyle Rowan, commissioned as a companion piece to Dallapiccola's masterwork 'Piccola Musica Notturna' ('A Little Night Music').
