Audience Advisory: Use of lighting effects may be disorienting for some viewers.

Boston Conservatory at Berklee's contemporary music ensemble contraBAND presents a student-led power concert of works about light and darkness. Nyctophobia, the irrational fear of darkness or the absence of light, offers profound insights into the human psyche and our evolution. Join our contemporary classical music performance students and their colleagues in exploring this hauntingly beautiful realm of through-composed and open-form works.
