Joseph Pehrson microtonal performances

I realize I haven't been around here too much of late, regrettably.
However, I just realized that I should probably post the following
performance notices. Two of the pieces to be performed in the NYC
area are microtonal, in the 21-note subset of 72-equal, called
the "Blackjack" scale which was invented on these lists. The other
bass flute piece might as well be microtonal, the way the flute
player is playing it. I'm enjoying his rendition, however. Here is
the post:

Concert notices

For those of you with the time and interest, there are three local
NYC performances by Joseph Pehrson coming up. Two of them have free
admission, and one a $10 charge.

On Saturday, April 28, the NYU Steinhardt School of Education is
honoring the retirement of composition director, Dinu Ghezzo on a
concert at NYU Loewe Theatre, 35 W. 4th Street, NYC. (between Greene
Street and Washington Square East). The concert begins at 5PM.
(PLEASE NOTE TIME). Admission is free. I am pleased to have a
piece on this concert, my new "Microproj," an electronic work in the
near-just-intonation 21-note scale of "Blackjack," which I have been
working with for several years now. My wife, Linda Past, will be
doing one of her "dramatic-dance" interpretations of this piece on
the concert as well. In addition to several pieces by Dinu Ghezzo,
many using multimedia, John Gilbert has arranged an "internet
multimedia" presentation, so there should be lots of variety there.

Monday evening, April 30, the Dinu Ghezzo honoring festivities
continue with a concert at the Romanian Cultural Center, 200 East
38th Street (corner of 3rd Ave) honoring Ghezzo's 38 years of
composing in the US. I am also happy to be included on this event
with a performance of my "Profondo" for bass flute by Gerardo Levy.
This concert begins at 7PM (AGAIN PLEASE NOTE TIME). It is also free
of charge. Other composers on the concert include Leo Kraft, Robert
Rowe, Wendy Luck, and several others.

On Wednesday, May 2, the American Festival of Microtonal Music and
Johnny Reinhard will host a performance of my "Blackjinn," a work for
woodwind quintet in the near-just-intonation 21-note "Blackjack"
scale. The concert is at the Bowery Poetry Club, located at 308
Bowery at Bleecker Street (6 train to Bleecker). The club concert
begins at 10PM (YET AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE TIME). Other composers on the
program include Elodie Lauten, Kyle Gann and Johnny Reinhard. Bass
trombonist Dave Taylor will also be featured. Tickets are $10 and,
as in most club concerts, food and beverages are available. Further
information may be found at www.afmm.org, in addition to some great
streaming videos of previous events.

Hope to see some of you at these concerts!
