Composers Concordance Concert, May 29

Yes, there *is* microtonal music on this concert: My piece especially:

The Composers Concordance is "springing ahead" into Summer
with an exciting and varied concert of new composer works on
Thursday, May 29, 2003, 8PM at the NYU Frederick Loewe Theatre, 35 W.
4th St. (between Washington Square East and Greene St.).

Pianist Paul Hoffmann will perform Pulitzer Prize winning composer
George Walker's Guido's Hand. This piece is a modern work
that reflects on the early singing techniques of the Renaissance, the
birth of our do-re-mi!

Gerardo Levy, flute, will give the New York premiere of Ramon
Zupko's finely designed Fluxis XI for flute and recorded sound.
One of a series of pieces involving live instruments and tape, this
work electronically echoes the phrases of the flutist in a fun-house
mirror.

Patrick Hardish's Two Poems will be sung by soprano Susan May
Schneider. These pieces, set to texts by contemporary American poet
Dorrie Weiss cleverly follow the sound of the words in the first song
and the meaning in the second.

Breaths, by John de Clef Pineiro uses an amplified flute and piano in
a cycle of six minature duos, each featuring the sonic qualities of
breaths.

Intrepid cellist Dan Barrett will navigate the 21 note
"blackjack" scale in Joseph Pehrson's Blacklight for
cello and electronics, verging on the luminous sounds of just
intonation.

Justin Dello Joio's Two Concert Etudes are a virtuosic romp into
athletic neo-Romanticism, as performed by pianist Steven Masi.

And sound liberator Gene Pritsker will "rap up" the concert
with the concluding work, his ensemble piece Poetic Subjects Eternal
II for soprano Melanie Mitrano, baritone Charles Coleman and
Pritsker'sown crazy electronic "samplestra." This work
shows thesimilarities of poetic subjects in the past, present and
future times. Dave Gotay and Gene Pritsker will provide the
"rapping" narrative.

Tickets are $12, $7 students and seniors, TDF accepted. For more
