Featuring music by Eric Mandat, Steve Reich, Franco Donatoni, Salvatore Sciarrino, and earspace’s own Ledah Finck, ’gifts of the magi’ inaugurates the holiday season with a shared journey of pilgrims – symbolically and literally – through several works of art given to the Ackland Art Museum’s current exhibition Birthday Presents, presented in connection with the Museum’s sixtieth anniversary.
