Things fall from the sky
Monday, February 23, 2009 8 pm
Herbst Theatre
401 Van Ness at McAllister Street, San Francisco
Pre-concert talk begins at 7:15 pm.
Program:
Roscoe Mitchell, WRC2A, Opus 1 (world premiere)
Roscoe Mitchell, Bells for New Orleans (world premiere)
Terry Riley, Quando cosas malas caen del cielo
Lee Hyla, Polish Folk Songs
Cindy Cox, [new work] (world premiere)
Featuring:
Roscoe Mitchell, saxophone
David Tanenbaum, guitar
William Winant, percussion
With three world premieres, including a Roscoe Mitchell/William Winant duet, and a David Tanenbaum guitar solo, this is sure to be a memorable evening. Cindy Cox and Roscoe Mitchell (who made his name as a jazz saxophonist with the Art Ensemble of Chicago before shifting his focus to chamber music composition) bring us three much-anticipated new works. Lee Hyla and Terry Riley take up the populist point of view with a boisterous, unpredictable collage of Polish folk music and an Iraq War protest piece played on the National Steel guitar.
