    Musiqa presents  Musiqa Loft Concert: The Extravagant Vein, Thursday, November 17, 2011 at  6:30pm at The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston.

    In conjunction with artist Donald Moffett’s current show at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston The Extravagant Vein, Musiqa presents a program that includes some politically charged works including composer Cornelius Cardew’s “The Workers Song” for solo violin and Frederic Rzewski’s “No More War” a round for any number of voices. John Fitz Rogers’ “The Evidence” for monologist and prerecorded sounds utilizes text taken from the now infamous 1950 “red scare” hearings in the U.S. House of Representatives.

    Compositions by Pierre Max DuBois, Christian Lauba and Ryo Noda for solo saxophone and violin and saxophone round out the provocative program.
