Station 4 wraps its uniquely structured electro-acoustic improvisations around the spoken-word performance art of poet Kao Ra Zen. “Urban Voices: Listening to the Unheard” is a multi-movement work which interprets excerpts from literary works of Chicago authors highlighting everyday realities as experienced by members of underrepresented Chicago demographic groups.
