Jeremiah Cymerman
Fri Apr 10 – 8:30 PM
Composer/clarinetist Jeremiah Cymerman premieres a dramatic new composition for string quartet and electronics entitled “Under a Blue, Grey Sky”. Through-composed and presented as a five-act audio play, the piece works to strike a balance between the creative control that a conductor exercises over an ensemble with the sonic wizardry of dub-inspired live electronic processing. Based loosely on a series of terrifying nightmares that the composer had from the age of 21-23, “Under a Blue, Grey Sky” is a lyrical, dark, and brooding piece that marks a new direction for a musician that Time Out New York describes as “one of downtown’s most inventive and resourceful composer/performers”. This concert made possible with funds provided by the Jerome Foundation.
William Parker
Sat Apr 11 – 8:30 PM
William Parker is a free jazz double bassist, poet and composer active since the early 1970s as a vital musician in the New York City experimental jazz scene. Co-curator of the annual Vision Festival in New York City, Parker has recorded and performed with many musicians, including Cecil Taylor, Peter Brötzmann, Bill Dixon, Roscoe Mitchell, Henry Grimes, DJ Spooky, John Zorn and Mat Maneri among others. Tonight, Parker presents electro-acoustic pieces w/ performances by Jim Staley (trombone), Joe Morris (guitar/bas), Billy Bang (violin), and more TBA.
