This Saturday, the local arts and music collective Suite 440 presents an intriguing evening of “new noise, new sounds, neumusik” at the Unitarian Universalist Church on Elmwood Avenue. Ostensibly a chamber music concert, New Echoes from Old Chambers draws on conventions of classical music presentation to explore clever inversions of listener expectations and various avant-garde techniques. The event includes performances of pieces by Jean-Francois Laporte of Montreal, Jesus Contreras of California and local composers KG Price, H. John Fitzgibbon and Mark DiGiampaolo, culminating in an ambitious re-setting of Gyorgy Ligeti’s “Lux Æterna” for guitar ensemble and voice, a piece most famous for the unsettling mood it sets in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Equally intriguing is the list of guest musicians, which draws from seemingly disparate musical worlds: Mary Ramsey of John & Mary, cellist Jonathan Golove, the Buffalo Philharmonic Choir, multi-media artist Jax Deluca and experimental rockers Bare Flames.

Saturday, February 24 at 8pm. Unitarian Universalist Church, 695 Elmwood Ave. (885-2136).
