SUMMARY:Morton Feldman: Three Voices
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird is excited to present the Philadelphia premiere of the Quince Vocal Ensemble performing Morton Feldman’s “Three Voices” with all three parts performed live. Feldman’s “Three Voices” was written for the experimental vocalist and composer Joan LaBarbara in 1982. The original concept involved the live performer singing along with two pre-recorded parts projected through on-stage amplifiers\, creating an effect of three individual “voices”\, all with the same origin (Ms. LaBarbara). Three Voices is indeed a challenging and ground-breaking work\, and has very rarely been performed live with three singers due to its nearly impossible demands on the human voice and psyche – impeccable rhythmic concentration\, shrewd attention to tuning\, and the ability to sound as one voice in three parts. The text is based on Frank O’Hara’s poem\, Wind\, and shapes\, twists\, and morphs short phrases from the poem into an hour-long musical experience.

SUMMARY:Friction Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird is pleased to welcome San Francisco’s Friction Quartet to their premiere Philadelphia performance. The program will feature the world premiere of a new string quartet by New Zealander composer (and Philadelphia based) Rosie Langabeer. Opening the evening will be Murmuration celebrating the debut album\, “Revised Notes” \nFRICTION QUARTET\nOtis Harriel\, Violin; Kevin Rogers\, Violin;\nTaija Warbelow\, Viola; Doug Machiz\, Cello \nplus MURMURATION\nRussell Kotcher\, violin/piano; Joshua Machiz\, double bass; Eric Coyne\, cello/piano \nPROGRAM\nLudwig van Beethoven: Grosse Fuge\nRosie Langabeer: Occulmente (World Premiere)\nPiers Hellawell: The Still Dancers \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nThe San Francisco Chronicle has praised the Friction Quartet for its “high-octane music making” and “fine blend of rhythmic ferocity and tonal flair.” Dedicated to working with living composers\, the quartet has given more than 70 world-premiere performances and commissioned 32 works since its formation in 2011. The Friction Quartet works outside the traditional string quartet model by performing arrangements of pop music\, making use of digital sound processing\, and combining music with other media. In 2016\, the ensemble performed at Carnegie Hall as part of the Kronos Quartet’s groundbreaking initiative Fifty for the Future: The Kronos Learning Repertoire. \nFounded in Philadelphia in 2011\, Murmuration is an improvisational instrumental chamber ensemble that blends classical\, ambient\, and pop elements into a sound ranging from Debussy to The Eurythmics. They have performed in a variety of venues across the region\, and have participated in a wide range collaborations that have included either dance\, spoken word\, or film. Members include Russell Kotcher\, violin/piano; Joshua Machiz\, double bass; Eric Coyne\, cello/piano. Their debut album\, Revised Notes\, is due for release in March\, 2018. Revised Notes is a collection of in-studio improvisations that were recorded at Turtle Studios in Philadelphia in the summer of 2015. Each track began as an improvisation\, or a section of a large-scale improvisation. Some were edited with overdubs\, enhanced or reduced reverb\, and various filters. Others remain nearly as they were with minimal to no editing. Rather than containing numerous large-scale pieces\, the goal of the album is to give listeners a sampling of the variety of moods\, characters\, and sound-scapes that Murmuration creates in its music.

SUMMARY:Daedelus Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird is pleased to present the Daedalus Quartet\, Penn’s quartet-in-residence\, for an evening that features “Ainsi la nuit” (Thus the Night) composed by the French composer Henri Dutilleux between 1973 and 1976. “Ainsi la nuit” is considered one of the most important works in the genre and has been called “one of the treasures of the 20th century quartet repertoire”. Also on the program will be new works by Philadelphia composers Kevin Laskey\, Nathan Courtright\, Joshua Hey\, and Jacob Walls. \nProgram:\nAinsi la nuit by Henri Dutilleux\n(this is not an) Etch-a-Sketch by Kevin Laskey\nNo. 305 by Nathan Courtright\nLens flare from Alpha Centauri by Joshua Hey\nBreath I (Lyric – Levitate – Exhale – Dissipate) by Jacob Walls \nABOUT THE PERFORMERS:\nPraised by The New Yorker as “a fresh and vital young participant in what is a golden age of American string quartets\,” the Daedalus Quartet has established itself as a leader among the new generation of string ensembles. Since winning the top prize in the Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2001\, the Daedalus Quartet has impressed critics and listeners alike with the security\, technical finish\, interpretive unity\, and sheer gusto of its performances. The New York Times has praised the Daedalus Quartet’s “insightful and vibrant” Haydn\, the “impressive intensity” of their Beethoven\, their “luminous” Berg\, and the “riveting focus” of their Dutilleux. The Washington Post in turn has acclaimed their performance of Mendelssohn for its “rockets of blistering virtuosity\,” while the Houston Chronicle has described the “silvery beauty” of their Schubert and the “magic that hushed the audience” when they played Ravel\, the Boston Globe the “finesse and fury” of their Shostakovich\, the Toronto Globe and Mail the “thrilling revelation” of their Hindemith\, and the Cincinnati Enquirer the “tremendous emotional power” of their Brahms. \nFREE with PennID

SUMMARY:The World According to Sound
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird is pleased to present The World According to Sound\, an immersive sonic experience by Sam Harnett and Chris Hoff. During the performance\, the audience sits blindfolded at the center of a ring of loudspeakers. Listeners will be transported inside another person’s head\, and back in time a hundred years to the streets of Berlin. They’ll fly out into space and bore deep inside the bowels of the earth. There is a musical washing machine\, sonorous sporting events\, and the disturbing howl Marco Polo heard while crossing the Gobi Desert. There’s absolutely nothing to see. It will be a spectacle entirely for the ears. \nSam Harnett is a reporter for KQED and a frequent contributor to Marketplace\, and NPR programs like Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Chris Hoff is the senior engineer and sound designer for Crosscurrents on KALW. Two years ago they set out to create a radio show that did not rely on narrative and storytelling; a program that would focus on sound instead of language. They are now touring with their live show\, performing and talking with students about sound\, modern radio\, and the current state of media.

SUMMARY:Arnold Dreyblatt
DESCRIPTION:NODAL EXCITEMENT for prepared Double Bass with Piano Wire\nREPERTOIRE for prepared Double Bass with Piano Wire\, Laptop\nMAGNETOM for laptop \nTHE EVENT\nBowerbird is pleased to present a rare performance by composer-performer Arnold Dreyblatt (b. New York City\, 1953). Dreyblatt studied music with Pauline Oliveros\, La Monte Young\, and Alvin Lucier and has been based in Berlin\, Germany since 1984. Among the second generation of New York minimal composers\, Dreyblatt developed a unique approach to composition and music performance. As he began his music in the late 1970’s in New York\, he invented a set of new and original instruments\, performance techniques\, and a system of tuning and has formed and led numerous ensembles under the title “The Orchestra of Excited Strings”. \nDreyblatt has been composing music for his own and other ensembles for almost forty years. Often characterized as the most rock-oriented of American minimalists\, Dreyblatt has cultivated a strong underground fan base for his transcendental and ecstatic music with his “Orchestra of Excited Strings”. The New York native studied film and video at SUNY with Woody and Steina Vasulka\, and earned his masters from the Institute for Media Studies at S.U.N.Y. Buffalo. In the mid-’70s\, he studied composition with Pauline Oliveros and LaMonte Young\, then with Alvin Lucier while completing his masters in composition\, completed in 1982. By that time\, Dreyblatt had already been directing his own music ensemble\, the Orchestra of Excited Strings. \nIn 1984\, he moved to Europe where\, in addition to composing\, he began to work in performance and the visual arts. He has received numerous grants\, stipends and commissions including the Philip Morris Art Prize\, Foundation for Contemporary Performance Art and from the Irish Arts Council. Musicians and Ensembles which have performed his music include the Bang On A Can All-Stars\, the Pellegrini Quartet\, Jim O’Rourke\, Crash Ensemble (Dublin)\, The Great Learning Orchestra (Stockholm)\, and the American Indie-band Megafaun. In 1991\, he created the contemporary opera Who’s Who in Central and East Europe 1933 which toured European theatres until 1997. \nDreyblatt has recorded for such labels as Tzaddik\, Hat Hut\, Table of the Elements\, Cantaloupe\, Important\, Northern Spy\, Choose and Black Truffel. Dreyblatt has taught music workshops resulting in performed compositions with musicians at The Music Gallery\, Toronto; MIT Boston\, Serralves Foundation\, SXSW Festival Porto\, Portugal and many others. He has performed with and without his ensemble at the Whitney Museum\, New York; the Maerz Music Festival\, Berlin; the Angelika Festival\, Bologna; The Lab in San Francisco\, Jazz House\, Copenhagen and countless other festivals and concert venues in Europe and in North America.

SUMMARY:The Lady with the Hammer: The Music of Galina Ustvolskaya
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE EVENT \nThe Russian composer Galina Ustvolskaya (1919-2006) created some of the most severe\, brutalist classical music of the 20th century. Favoring stark textures and unusual combinations of instruments– she never formally studied orchestration– her music unfolds in ruthlessly throbbing rhythms\, angular melodic shards\, and resonant caverns of silence. Though she mostly avoided programmatic depictions and favored abstract titles\, her work provoked visceral reactions: the Dutch musicologist Elmer Schonberger called her “the lady with the hammer\,” while Ustvolskaya herself described her work as “music from the black hole.” Aside from uncharacteristic pieces she wrote for public functions\, her work was largely unperformed during her lifetime. Only in the 1980s did her relatively small body of work begin to be performed and recorded\, and Ustvolskaya still remains largely unknown even among aficionados of 20th-century classical music. The Arcana New Music Ensemble is proud to present the music of this unique and powerful composer. \n  \nTHE PROGRAM \nComposition No. 1 (1970-71)\nEmma Resmini\, piccolo\nJay Krush\, tuba\nDavid Hughes\, piano \nDuet for Violin and Piano (1964)\nMin Kim\, violin\nDavid Hughes\, piano \nSymphony No. 5\, “Amen”(1989-90)\nDavid Hughes\, voice\nEvan Ocheret\, oboe\nTessa Ellis\, trumpet\nJay Krush\, tuba\nMin Kim\, violin\nEric Derr\, percussion \nGrand Duet for Cello and Piano (1959)\nTom Kraines\, cello\nMichael Tan\, piano \nPiano Sonata No. 6 (1988)\nMichael Tan\, piano \n  \nABOUT ARCANA\nFounded in 2016\, the Arcana New Music Ensemble is a group of Philadelphia-based musicians dedicated to presenting interesting\, beautiful\, and unconventional music in interesting\, beautiful\, and unconventional places.
