Georg Friedrich Haas:

In vain featuring Sound Icon

“Waves of opulently strange, beautiful sounds…a masterpiece.”
—The New York Times

Performed to great acclaim across Europe, Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas’s In vain is a shattering work featuring Sound Icon, a 24-member chamber orchestra led by conductor Jeffrey Means. The performance unleashes a luminous sonic landscape of light and darkness, expanding the parameters of how listeners hear, see, and experience music, often while immersed in total darkness.
