Music at First presents: The Music of Jerome Kitzke
A concert celebrating the pre-release of his new CD, The Paha Sapa Give-Back on the Innova Label and presenting the New York City premiere of an excerpt from Buffalo Nation (Bison bison), a theatrical musical historical survey of The Bison in North America with a libretto by Kathleen Masterson.

I have been highly connected to Kitzke’s Buffalo Nation, having engraved and edited the parts of this work (published through Peermusic Classical). On the 23rd I will be performing as part of the Sound Effects Chorus, a “herd” of vocalists/body percussionists. This piece is not to be missed! Also on the program is ETHEL and The Mad Coyote.

The Immediacies Series continues with an evening of contemporary vocal music from the Quince Contemporary Vocal Ensemble and thingNY’s Gelsey Bell. Quince previews their upcoming album, Realign the Time, with Amanda Feery’s “Squarepushers” and solos, duos, and trios by David Lang, Giacinto Scelsi, Lisa Bielawa, and Monte Weber.

Gelsey Bell presents her 2011 song cycle SCALING, which explores the relationship between vocal performer and piano, with fellow thingNY compatriot Paul Pinto. Both groups of artists offer diverse approaches to contemporary music anchored in the voice.
