Chamber Music of Judith Shatin Performed on Tour by Borup/Ernst Duo in Utah and Colorado on April 12, 15 and 21 Two of Judith Shatin's chamber works, Tower of the Eight Winds and Icarus will be performed on tour by Hasse Borup, violin and Mary Kathleen Ernst, piano on the following dates: Sunday, April 12 - 7:00 PM - Libby Gardner Hall on the campus of University of Utah (http://www.music.utah.edu/). Wednesday, April 15 - 7:30 PM - University Center for the Arts at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, Colorado (http://events.colostate.edu/event_view.asp?ID=3D7&EID=3D25063) Tuesday, April 21 - 7:00 PM - Roshong Hall of Ft. Lewis College in Durango, Colorado (http://explore.fortlewis.edu/). This program, called Mythic Dramas of Judith Shatin, will feature Tower of the Eight Winds and Icarus. Both of these dramatic pieces offer journeys inspired by mythic topics: Icarus and the Greek gods of the winds. The composer notes that the myth of Icarus seems an apt metaphor for the creative process: the attempt to transcend, and the riskiness of the endeavor. The story of the escape of Daedalus, noted for his wonderful sculptures, together with his son Icarus is a compelling one that has inspired many artists to attempt their own interpretive flights. Tower of the Eight Winds, named for the Tower of the Winds, still standing below the Acropolis in the ancient Roman agora in Athens, soars windward, reflecting the gods of the winds depicted in friezes at the tower's top. At the time of its premiere the Washington Post said: '...Judith Shatin's "Tower of the Eight Winds," ... stood out for its acuity and engaging vivacity....' Other works on the programs will be W.A. Mozart's Sonata K.454 and Franck's Sonata in D Minor.
