The Lawrence Conservatory’s New Music Series presents Spectral Canvas, an evening of bold, boundary-crossing music by Donnacha Dennehy and Andy Akiho.

The program features Dennehy’s Limina, a riveting piano concerto performed by Lawrence faculty pianist Michael Mizrahi. In Limina, Dennehy explores thresholds between registers, textures, and energies, creating music that is at once luminous, visceral, and deeply expressive.

Paired with Dennehy’s work is Akiho’s Copper Canvas, a dazzling composition alive with intricate grooves, metallic shimmer, and the kinetic drive that has made Akiho one of today’s most in-demand composers.

Hailed by critics worldwide, Dennehy and Akiho represent two of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music. Together, their works invite listeners to step into soundscapes that shimmer, pulse, and radiate with color and intensity.
