“A barrage of layered narrative strands and fragmentsâ€
- Steve Smith, The New York Times
For more than 40 years baritone Thomas Buckner has dedicated himself to the world of new and improvised music. On February 25 he presents an evening of new works representing longstanding collaborations, including Earl Howard’s Frond, for baritone, violin, bass saxophone, and live electronics, Bun Ching Lam’s Trois Cadeaux, for baritone, harp, and piano, and Matthias Kaul’s Zappa-esque The Mellow Quark. Eckart Beinke’s Time stands… Wildharrend / Jahrtausende, for Buckner along with the German ensemble L’Art Pour L’Art and tape accompaniment, uses historic textual and musical quotations, from Friedrich Hölderlin and John Dowland up to contemporary daily press and other sounds.
The evening’s performers include the French harpist Isabelle Courret, the German ensemble L’Art Pour L’Art, violinist Mari Kimura violin, bass saxophonist JD Parran, and Earl Howard (providing live electronic processing and electroacoustic sound). The evening will end with the performers taking part in a group improvisation.
