The S.E.M. Ensemble, founded and directed by Petr Kotik, will open its 40th season at Paula Cooper Gallery’s main space in Chelsea on Tuesday, December 15 (8 pm). Highlights include two compositions by Christian Wolff, Flutist “with Percussion” (2003) and For John / Material  (2007); the first public performance of Petr Kotik’s 3, 6 & 10 for John Cage (2009); and Lejaren Hiller’s rarely performed String Quartet No. 5 (In Quarter-tones) (1962).  Since SEM performed its first concert at Paula Cooper Gallery on Christmas Eve 1984, it has become a tradition to include an early music piece, and the December 15 program will also feature J. S.
