"The piece was inspired by the more unsettling depictions of angels in religious texts and mystical literature — not gentle, human-like figures, but overwhelming beings associated with fire, terror, and transformation." On May 22, the Grossman Ensemble will premiere Gity Razaz's latest composition, Angel of All Mortal Things. Learn more about Razaz's new piece and experience working with the Grossman Ensemble in a recent interview! Link in bio.
