The Nick Adams Stories: A World Premiere of a New Piece Based on Hemingway's Famed Stories

The Nick Adams Stories are a collection of short, semi-autobiographical works written by Hemingway throughout his life. Many of the stories detail Hemingway's youth in Michigan, which drew  percussionist Josh Graham and composer Griffen Candey towards a collaboration. Both native Michiganders, Graham will be performing the world premiere of a new work for solo marimba written by Mr. Candey. The performance will include readings from the works interspersed with the musical works they have inspired, as well as a discussion and Q and A session with the composer and performer.
