Spare the Rod! is a collaboration between Austin-based composer Yevgeniy Sharlat and NOW Ensemble. The three-movement piece tracks a day in the life of a child as she “rises”, “plays”, “dreams”. It uses two music boxes created by artist Yuliya Lanina that present scenes from classic fairy tales hiding a dark underbelly of violence and abuse behind their innocuous façade.
Today also marks the premiere of the official music video for the piece "Rise." Watch the magic play out here.
