"Subversion: music about conflicts, politics, and war" is a chamber music program presented by TENTH INTERVENTION consisting of four pieces by different, living composers, inspired by the tragedy, the drama, and the irony of conflict.

The program will begin with an opening statement from CPL Shamus Smith (USMC/USARNG).
