Special Evening Event
 David’s Quilt presented by UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music
Sunday, November 5 at 7 p.m. | Stephen Wise Temple
The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and UCLA Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies will present the world premiere of “David’s Quilt,” an original libretto about biblical King David. This performance features the premiere of a new work by Los Angeles based composers and UCLA faculty and students working together with the Max Helfman Institute. David’s Quilt is the result of 15 very different composers joining together to tell the story of David through their own artistic lens. The Quilt explores different episodes of David’s life, composed in a variety of musical idioms.
