Or is a conjunction used to link alternatives. Life is a conundrum which offers no definitive paths or guarantees of fulfillment. That is the territory explored in Johnny G. Lloyd's cleverly shaded Or, An Astronaut Play. An individual can choose to be a teacher or a doctor. A policeman or a politician. The odds of success for achieving those dreams are varied depending on station or circumstance or even dumb luck. This play is about how life works, or is supposed to work, or doesn't. Or, maybe it's really just an astronaut play.
CMS's 50th anniversary season will celebrate the 250th birthday of Beethoven with the 2020 edition of the Winter Festival of performances of all sixteen of the master's string quartets.

Performing the sixteen quartets is a mental, physical, and emotional challenge for the artists, and they are rarely performed as a set. For the CMS Winter Festival the performances will be by the critically-acclaimed Danish String Quartet.
