Events 2008

The New York City-based gamelan ensemble performs works by Laura Andel, David Demnitz, Miguel Frasconi and others.

Together with very special guest Wolter Wierbos from Holland, Gerry Hemingway and Alex Waterman present a set of trio music. Coming out of work in the larger Quintet setting, tonight’s music will be more conversational and languid without holding back the virtuosic energy of these three musicians.

Tonight’s program focuses on so-called “silent music,” dramatically reductive chamber music that hovers on the edge of audibility. With strong roots in Cageian aesthetics, the principal exponents of this music are the members of the multi-national collective of composer/performer known as the Wandelweiser Group.
