‘To The Fullest’ Honors Music of Julius Eastman and Arthur Russell:  

On the evening of March 4, the Walt Disney Concert Hall nearly reached capacity for “To the Fullest: The Music of Julius Eastman and Arthur Russell,” a concert that honored two avant-garde experimental music luminaries. Presented as part of the LA Phil’s Green Umbrella New Music Series and produced in collaboration with Wild Up, the program brought together an eclectic mix of musicians, composers, and vocalists to interpret the works of Eastman and Russell—artists who, in their time, defied convention and blurred boundaries of contemporary music.
