SUMMARY:Del Sol String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird is excited to welcome the San Francisco-based Del Sol String Quartet for an intimate concert in the Maas Building’s Hi5 Studio. Featured on the program will be work Ruth Crawford Seeger’s serialist “String Quartet” (1931)\, Ben Johnston’s microtonal ““”String Quartet no. 10” (1995)\, and music by the radical early experimentalist George Antheil. \n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nHailed by Gramophone as “masters of all musical things they survey” and two-time top winner of the Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming\, the Del Sol String Quartet is a leading force in 21st century chamber music. Founded in 1992 and based in San Francisco\, Del Sol’s collaborative performance projects and chamber music programs explore narratives and cultures from around the world\, reflecting the stories and sounds of the Pacific Rim as vibrantly as those heard in European concert halls or East Coast art spaces.

SUMMARY:Romanian Spectralism: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird is pleased to welcome Iancu Dumitrescu and Ana-Maria Avram to Philadelphia for an intimate\, two concert portrait of “Romanian Spectralism”. The first evening focuses on smaller chamber works – duos and trios – and the second evening features large ensemble works. The concerts will take place at the studio of Hi5 Recording in the Maas Building. \n  \nTHE PROGRAM \nAna-Maria AVRAM: “Metalstorm (epsylon)” for e-guitar ensemble and computer sounds\nAna-Maria AVRAM: “Axis (XI for solo doublebass” (Zachary Rowden) ( w.p.)\nIancu Dumitrescu: “Le Silence d’Or for instruments and computer sounds” ( Philly version) ( w.p.)\nIancu Dumitrescu: “”Intuitive Music (I-II-III)” for ensemble and live electronics \n  \nABOUT THE COMPOSERS \nIancu Dumitrescu stands at the forefront of one of the 20th century’s most invisible avant-gardes: the spectral composers of Romania. Operating on the margins of a regime committed to Socialist Realism\, his microscopic explorations of acoustics draw on both Western techniques and local traditions: the folk music research of Bela Bartok\, Eastern Orthodox chant\, and Byzantine mysticism. The resulting compositions break apart sonic conventions. They reflect\, in Dumitrescu’s words\, “the attempt to release or unveil the god that is living in every piece of base matter.” \nBorn in Bucharest\, Romania in 1961\, composer Ana-Maria Avram’s propulsive music often synthesizes electroacoustic and instrumental sources. While informed by mathematical techniques\, Avram is drawn to the dynamic nature of sound as independently shaped by each performer and listener. “Even if something is written\, what is this\, there on the score?” she asks. “A base from which to fly away.”
