Excited to be performing works by young composers at Hunter College! Join me for “New Music for Saxophone” featuring Saxophonist Erin Rogers.
David Fulmer, director
Free Admission // Open to Everyone
Program:
Jessie Marino – The Whale Is a Capital Fish
Sam Scranton – Baleen
Paul Pinto – mini_007
Jennifer Walshe – Language Ruins Everything
Robert Ashley – Tap Dancing in the Sand
A night of audio-visual chamber music and sonic theaters. The program explores the sounds of language through its obscuration and translation. Rome Prize fellow Jessie Marino‘s multimedia The Whale Is a Capital Fish is part video lecture, part ritualistic absurdity, with instruments frenetically trying to keep up with rapid-fire translations and “incorrect” supertitles, and then Sam Scranton’s meditative Baleen utilizes the mouth as a filter for digestion, language and harmony, with the skillful employment of decorative vases. A quartet of desperate job interviewers struggles to get words-in-edgewise in Paul Pinto‘s joyfully awkward mini_007, and Irish humorist Jennifer Walshe implores us to consider that Language Ruins Everything through tai chi, falsetto and mime. Finally, the bilingual oracular statements of Hector Berlioz, as played by Alvin Lucier imitating Dr. Chicago, “translated” into the creamy poetry and instrumental lilts of Robert Ashley, in his stunning, rarely performed work, Tap Dancing in the Sand.
Performed by thingNY:

wild Up is the ultimately flexible, go anywhere, play anything modern music collective led by Christopher Rountree, artistic director and conductor. Together with them, you will explore the music of ancient India, modern California, and post-war New York that embraces a theme of innovation and acknowledges we are all standing on the shoulders of our ancestors. Join the orchestra as members of a congregation in a devotional that preaches a joyous path to the future of American Utopianism.
Based in Los Angeles, the modern music collective Wild Up is an adventurous chamber orchestra made up of musicians committed to creating visceral, thought-provoking happenings. Wild Up believes that music is a catalyst for shared experiences, and that a concert venue is a place to challenge, excite, and ignite a community of listeners. Julius Eastman was an artist who enjoyed a brief period of prominence as a composer, conductor, singer, pianist, and choreographer in New York during the 1970s and early 1980s, yet he died homeless and in relative obscurity. The recent rediscovery of his works is helping to complete his legacy and to give him his rightful place in the canon of American contemporary music. In their Washington, DC, debut, Wild Up will perform the composer’s Joy Boy and Femenine.

In its seventh season, this year’s all-female cast/female produced Ladies First series centers its theme around female spies (honey traps) and their tactics through times, cultures and socio-political contexts.
The production follows Ladies First’s signature four-part formula, which includes a reception, an award ceremony, a performance and an after-party. This year, the performance portion will be an installation, complementing the museum setting. The performance will be staged throughout the museum, with the performers strategically placed in their positions and incorporated into the context. The museum curator, Agne Urbaityte, will act as a guide, and will lead the audience from one performance spot to the next. The audience is invited to walk around and get close to the performers and learn about some of the artifacts in the museum. Chairs will be provided for those visitors who need to be seated.
The performance will last about 45 minutes and will occur three times during the evening: at 7:00 PM, 7:45 PM and 8:30 PM. The audience members can enter at any time after 6:30 PM and stay as long as they want. VIP ticket holders will receive a free gift and a complimentary after-party cocktail. The (secret) lady of honor will be presented an award made by artist Cecilia Mandrile in a festive award ceremony, following the Russian spy-themed reception, which will take place at 6:30 PM.
