Here is some information about an upcoming Concert and CD release.
I would like to alert you to a very special concert that is coming
up on September 26, 1999, at 7 PM in Seattle, Washington at the
Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya Hall. Two excellent
musicians trained at Juilliard and now residing in Seattle will be
playing some commissioned works of contemporary American composers.
They have recently completed a spectacular CD of the music of these
composers, titled "American Interweave". The Seattle concert is the
final concert in a tour of the East Coast and draws on some of the
compositions featured on the CD. The CD features the American
composers David Stock, William Bolcom, Reza Vali, Samuel Zyman, and
Lowell Liebermann.
David Stock was the resident composer for the SSO recently and lived
in Madison Heights during his stay here in Seattle. William Bolcom
was raised in Seattle and now lives and teaches at the University
of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Reza Vali is at the Carnegie-Mellon in
Pittsburgh, Samuel Zyman is at the Juilliard in New York City, and
Lowell Liebermann is an established composer living in New York City.
The music is performed by the Krishnaswami-Salman Duo consisting of
Rajan Krishnaswami on the violoncello and Mark Salman on the piano.
These works are in a style that is tonal and contemporary, with the
full range of emotional expression. I was privileged to be in the
studio during the recording of the CD and I am very impressed with
the quality of the music and the attention to detail made in recording
the performance of it. I believe that this CD will make a big
contribution to introducing these composers to the listening audience.
They will be giving a concert tour of the East coast on September 14
at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall $20 (NYC), September 16
at Duquesne University PNC Bank Recital Hall $10 (Pittsburgh), and
September 20 at Longy School of Music Pickman Hall $18 (Cambridge,
MA). The concert includes pieces by Beethoven, Liszt, Bolcom, Janacek,
Vali, and Stock.
The Seattle concert is scheduled for September 26 th at 7 P.M. in
the Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya Hall ($18, $14
st/snr). The Seattle concert has pieces by Beethoven, Reza Vali,
David Stock, Samuel Zyman, and Leos Janacek. Reza Vali. David Stock,
and Samuel Zyman will all be attendance at the concert and will be
participating in as post concert discussion made possible by a grant
from the Meet the Composer Foundation.
