| Sep 4 Center for the Arts sound installation: Stephen Vitiello |
| Internationally renowned sound artist Stephen Vitiello premieres a new installation based on unique insect recordings and micro sounds of the forest captured at Mountain Lake Biological Station in Pembroke, Virginia. Using a specialized laser recording device, Vitiello collaborated with evolutionary biologist Kasey Fowler-Finn to capture the sounds of insect movement on the stems and leaves of plants. These recorded sounds will be spatialized and manipulated at Virginia Tech's Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) studios to reveal a hidden sound world that would otherwise be inaudible. This extraordinary inner world, until now undetected and unknown, will be revealed in the Cube for the first time and for only 10 days. Supported in part by ICAT and the University of Virginia and the Mountain Lake Biological Station's ArtLab. |

| Sep 10 Darcy James Argue's Secret Society: "Real Enemies" |
| Based on in-depth research into the history, aesthetics, and psychology of conspiracy, "Real Enemies" is an evening-length, multi-media, jazz-fueled exploration of American paranoia. This marriage of music-theatre and hybrid nonfiction marks the first collaboration between composer Darcy James Argue, filmmaker Peter Nigrini, and writer Isaac Butler, who together chronicle a shadow history of post-war America that may - or may not - be true. Beginning with Edward Snowden's revelations about NSA data collection and moving through a dozen conspiracies, "Real Enemies" mimics and deconstructs how information overload, our need to make sense of the world, and government wrongdoing form the basis of our conspiracy culture. Conspiracy theories are our modern folklore, a way to explain uncomfortable and troubling aspects of our world. Equal parts rollicking concert, impressionist documentary, and lyric essay, "Real Enemies" is at the vanguard of both music-theatre and hybrid nonfiction, continuing the boundary-pushing work of composer Darcy James Argue. |

| Sep 18 Anthony de Mare: "Liaisons: Re'Imagining Sondheim from the Piano" |
| "Liaisons" is a landmark project, conceived by acclaimed concert pianist Anthony de Mare, who commissioned 36 of the world's foremost contemporary composers from across the musical spectrum to "re-imagine" one of Sondheim's songs as a solo piano piece. The result is new repertory that reveals Sondheim's influence across multiple genres and generations. Chosen in consultation with Sondheim, the "Liaisons" roster spans the classical, jazz, opera, pop, musical theatre, and film worlds. Composers hail from seven countries, range in age from 30 to 75, and represent more than 44 Pulitzers, Grammys, Tonys, and Academy Awards. At its essence, "Liaisons" is an homage, focused on Sondheim, the composer. "Liaisons" leaves no doubt that Sondheim's music is as at home in the concert hall as it is in the theatre-making the case for him as one of the 20th century's greatest and most influential composers. |

| Sep 26 Radiolab's Jad Abrumrad: "Gut Churn" |
| Jad Abumrad is the host and creator of "Radiolab," a public radio program broadcast on 524 stations and downloaded 9 million + times a month as a podcast. He employs his dual backgrounds as composer and journalist to create "a new aesthetic" in broadcast journalism. Using dialogue, music, interviews, and sound effects, he creates compelling documentaries that draw listeners into otherwise intimidating topics - the nature of numbers, the evolution of altruism, or the legal foundation for the war on terror. In 2011, "Radiolab" was awarded the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award, and Abumrad was honored as a MacArthur Fellow. "Gut Churn" is his solo multimedia exploration probing the role of uncertainty, fear, and other emotions in the creative process. |
