Metropolis Ensemble with RAJAS
Thursday, March 24, 2022, 7 pm

Composer and saxophonist Matthew Evan Taylor’s Life Returns is an evening-length composition that draws on African American, South Indian, and European musical practices. Commissioned by MetLiveArts and the Grammy-nominated Metropolis Ensemble in collaboration with mridangam artist Rajna Swaminathan’s RAJAS ensemble, Life Returns melds freely improvised and through-composed music to celebrate resilience in the face of despair and the triumph of light and color over darkness.
This program is made possible by the Adrienne Arsht Fund for Resilience through Art and the New York State Council on the Arts.
Tickets start at $25 (includes Museum admission).
MetLiveArts tickets include Museum admission on the day of the event.
