Then, the Peter Zummo Ensemble performs Zummo’s original score for Working Title (1985), another of Brown’s early engagements with suspended bodies and a precursor to Lateral Pass (1985). The evening closes with Pamplona Stones (1974), a duet originally created and performed by Brown and collaborator Sylvia Palacios Whitman.
