E-MEX champions this diversity and embraces these influences as a defining force shaping the music of our time. Concert tours and workshops have taken E-MEX throughout Europe\, to North and South America as well as to Asia\, especially several tours to China in recent years. Most recently E-MEX was invited to the Beijing Central Conservatory of Music to participate in the Beijing International Composition Workshop and other programs for students\, composition faculty\, musicologists and artist from across China. The ensemble’s wide ranging artistic output arising out of its international partnerships has been documented in regular live-recordings produced and broadcast by public radio networks in Germany and a number of CD productions.

SUMMARY:John Cage's Song Books
DESCRIPTION:JOHN CAGE’S SONG BOOKS\nperformed by Ne(x)tworks \nNe(x)tworks\nJoan La Barbara – voice\nShelley Burgon – harp\nYves Dharamraj – cello\nMiguel Frasconi – glass\nStephen Gosling – piano;\nAriana Kim – violin\nChristopher McIntyre – trombone\, laptop \nAs with many of Cage’s works\, Song Books is indeterminate with regard to performance. In order to highlight the immense and open possibilities of the score\, Cage: Beyond Silence offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience multiple versions of this work\, further inviting audiences to engage with the ephemeral qualities of music so important to Cage.\nThis performance will feature Cage’s Song Books (Solos for Voice 392) (1970) in a concert length version by Joan La Barbara’s New York City based Ne(x)tworks ensemble. \n  \nABOUT SONG BOOKS \n“One might think of Song Books as Cage’s Art of Fugue\, an exhaustive demonstration of the diverse approaches to music-making that the composer had practiced over his long career. Of course\, Cage–unlike J. S. Bach–continued his career for more than two decades after he completed the piece. But although he found new ways to extend his artistic vision in ways that surprised even him\, he would only occasionally match the diversity and ambitious scope that he achieved so brilliantly in Song Books.” ~ Rob Haskins \nReplete with text and music materials quoted from Marcel Duchamp\, Erik Satie\, David Thoreau\, Buckminster Fuller\, Norman O. Brown\, and even Mozart and Schubert\, John Cages 1970 composition Song Books is a two-volume collection of eighty-nine short solos. \nSome of these solos call for singing\, conventional or otherwise. Other solos require no singing at all\, but rather reproduce the word-game actions of Cage’s Theater Piece (1960). Still other Solos are examples of another kind of theater altogether\, one which clearly reflects the influence of the neo-Dadaist Fluxus movement. Instructions for some of these Solos ask the performer simply to “prepare something to eat” or to “perform a disciplined action that fulfills an obligation to others.” \nEach realization of Song Books is performed to fill a predetermined duration\, with any number of performers\, each responsible for choosing their own music. Additionally\, Cage indicated that a performance of Song Books may also include simultaneous performances of other indeterminate music such as Winter Music (1957)\, Concert for Piano and Orchestra (1958)\, Indeterminacy (1959)\,or Rozart Mix (1965).

SUMMARY:John Cage's Organ2 / ASLSP
DESCRIPTION:One of the ideas central to Cages philosophy was asking us to consider the way we listen to and perceive music. Monumental in its duration\, this performance of Cages Organ2 / ASLSP challenges the traditional parameters of a concert and asks us to choose our own path to engage with the music. \nPresented by organist Parker Kitterman and others throughout the evening and into the early morning hours on Nov. 4\, Organ2 / ASLSP will be performed on the powerful Curtis Organ housed in Philadelphias historic Christ Church. \nCages work is the subject of one of the longest-lasting musical performances yet undertaken: The current performance of this piece began in 2001 at St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt\, Germany\, and is scheduled to have a duration of 639 years. The title stands for “As SLow(ly) and Soft(ly) as Possible” and also refers to “Soft morning city. Lsp!” (from James Joyce’s ‘Finnegans Wake’).

SUMMARY:ORGAN: Parker Kitterman
DESCRIPTION:Pulling out all the stops: this is chance to hear the Curtis Organ played by its year-round keeper. Parker’s newly appointed tenure at Christ Church has radically changed the musical content in the congregation. He is bringing a 17th century parish to the 21st by bringing amusical genres and traditions not often associated with the service. He also performs regularly as a recitalist\, where his repertoire ranges from the late Renaissance and early Baroque to the French Romantic/Symphonic period to great and little-known works of the 20th and 21st centuries\, and includes original works\, transcriptions\, and improvisation.

Subcircle’s work\, in collaboration with Geoff Sobelle\, of rainpan 43 and with music by Mike Kiley asks the audience to come with them on an adventure yet unknown. A dance-video tour de force\, Subcircle is the collaboration between choreographer Niki Cousineau and designer Jorge Cousineau. Founded in 1998\, the company is committed to creating work that transforms theatrical and site-specific spaces\, merging dance\, sound\, set design\, lighting and film. With collaboration at its core\, Subcircle’s inventive collaborations build scenarios that engulf audiences in full-scale atmospheric environments.

SUMMARY:ORGAN: Andrew Thiboldeaux
DESCRIPTION:Andrew is probably best known as half of Pattern is Movement\, a indie rock band where he sings and plays keys. Its sounds like he’s going to be drummer and a couple of horn players. We can’t decide: will it be the indie-cabaret-lumberjack-crooner vibe or the shimmering-orchestral-polyrhythmic pop that’s going to be most amazing to hear transferred onto the big pipes of Christ Church.

SUMMARY:Blind Date: Part 1
DESCRIPTION:We invited ten of the most interesting performers – five musicians and five dancers – and paired them up with someone they’ve never performed with – on a Blind Date. We played match maker – and we were careful to take risks. What will happen? We don’t exactly know\, but Blind Date is here to inspire that conversation\, to bring the possibilities between music and dance into focus\, to help us understand and challenge the continuum of improvisation and composition in performance\, and to anticipate the unknown\, and the inherent potential for disaster but also greatness that comes from this edge of inquiry. We liked this idea so much\, we did it twice. \n  \nThe lineup for part one is: \n  \nMegan Bridge & Joo Wan Park \nShavon Norris & Andrew Nelson \nJumatatu Poe & Gillian Grassie \nLeah Stein / Germaine Ingram & Dave Champion / Dan Blacksberg

SUMMARY:DANCE: Moving Parts/PIMA Group
DESCRIPTION:Specific. Abstract. Specifically abstract. Meg is an all around movement geek. She makes astonishingly specific movement with dancers who love discussion. Match vs. Match pulls apart a dance while putting it back together\, in a relentless search for identity and connection. A layered examination of architecture and space and the dancing body within (How many parts are you composed of? How about now?)\, all is revealed over time. Sometimes slowly. Sometimes all at once. \nPIMA Group so clearly defies categorization it’s not dance\, its not theater\, its not music\, and yet its all of these things. Featuring live music and video projections\, Ohhorror is a theatrical re-imagining of the evocative moods and mysterious feelings found in horror films and reveals how the cliches can get at the psychological essence of personal nightmares\, inner fears\, demons.

SUMMARY:ORGAN: John Zorn
DESCRIPTION:A extraordinarily gifted and diverse musical mind and recent MacArthur Fellow\, John Zorn is probably the closest thing avant-garde music has had a house hold name in since John Cage. And despite his prolific output as a composer\, arranger\, record producer\, saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist\, opportunities to hear Zorn live in performance\, especially in Philadelphia\, are very rare. The chance to hear John Zorn perform a solo organ concerts – truly once in a lifetime.
