Composer Evan Ziporyn unveiled a stunning reimagining of David Bowie’s final album, Blackstar, as a cello concerto by visionary cellist Maya Beiser in 2017 that has mesmerized audiences around the world.  Now, on the 10th anniversary of the legendary star’s passing, Alex Rigopulos (cocreator of Rock Band and Guitar Hero) and studio Secret Portal add an immersive video projection to the music performed live by Beiser and the 20+ musicians of Ambient Orchestra—resulting in the powerful multimedia tribute Aura: Blackstar Visualized.
