CVM is back on Friday Sept 18 with River Songs - an immersive musical experience that illuminates the beauty and drama of our waterways!

Singers, instrumentalists, and art installation will weave a performance along the Exchange Place waterfront – from the Colgate Clock to J Owen Grundy Park. As the sun sets, performers will proceed to the pier at J Owen Grundy Park and culminate with an amplified performance at the waterʼs edge.

Composed by Paul Pinto, River Songs is a diverse song cycle that draws influence from, and pays homage to, the industrially disrupted and unconventionally attractive confluence of our waterways. The music features Paul Pinto (voice) and an ensemble of choir, saxophones, synthesizers, guitar, bass, and percussion.

Spotlight on composer Max Vinetz!
With music described as “accomplished and appealing” (San Diego Story) and “shimmering…euphoric” (Chicago Classical Review), Max Vinetz is an award-winning composer whose music thrives at the intersection of improvisatory, popular, and traditional classical forms, exploring how these convergences shape and reflect identity transformation over time. His work often focuses on the perception of rhythmic and timbral events, weaving intricate relationships between narrative, musical objects, and sonic artifacts across various media.

This Friday 7:30pm, join CVM for our first concert at (woohoo!) featuring the critically acclaimed ensemble Exceptet and the world premiere of "Game of Squares", composed by Max Vinetz and commissioned by the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress.
