Things fall from the sky

Monday, February 23, 2009 8 pm
Herbst Theatre
401 Van Ness at McAllister Street, San Francisco
Pre-concert talk begins at 7:15 pm.

Program:
Roscoe Mitchell, WRC2A, Opus 1 (2008) (world premiere)
Roscoe Mitchell, Bells for New Orleans (2006) (world premiere)

Lee Hyla, Polish Folk Songs (2007)
Cindy Cox, [new work] (2008) (world premiere)

Featuring:

With three world premieres, including a Roscoe Mitchell/William Winant duet, and a David Tanenbaum guitar solo, this is sure to be a memorable evening. Cindy Cox and Roscoe Mitchell (who made his name as a jazz saxophonist with the Art Ensemble of Chicago before shifting his focus to chamber music composition) bring us three much-anticipated new works. Lee Hyla and Terry Riley take up the populist point of view with a boisterous, unpredictable collage of Polish folk music and an Iraq War protest piece played on the National Steel guitar.
