Moody Summer Music Series: Ursula von Rydingsvard, "Malutka II" (2018)

As part of the Moody's Summer Music Series, five composers from the Shepherd School of Music were commissioned to create original works responding to individual objects in Rice’s Public Art collection. Each composer wrote a short solo or duet to be performed in front of the artwork. The first composition, Of Wood, is inspired by Ursula von Rydingsvard's Malutka II (2018) and composed by Daniel Zlatkin. It is performed by cellist Russell Houston.
