Kaufman Music Center inaugurated its new “Artist as Curator” series on Thursday, Oct. 26 with Quince Ensemble. Advertised as “thrilling new collaborations curated by groundbreaking artists,” the series emphasizes the freedom that their guest curators are granted. In the words of John Glover, Kaufman’s director of artistic planning, the members of Quince — Liz Pearse, Kayleigh Butcher, Amanda DeBoer Bartlett, and Carrie Henneman Shaw — were “given the keys to the car.” The result at the initial show was primarily a showcase for the work of multi-disciplinary artist Paul Pinto with an additional commission from composer Annika Socolofsky.
