Longing for Utopia: Graeme Jennings plays Nono Monday, March 1, 2010 8:00 pm Luigi Nono, La lontananza nostalgica utopica futura (1988) Guest Lecturer: Professor Bruce Durazzi (Washington University, St. Louis) $28 general, $23 senior, $10 student In this hour-long piece for soloist and electronics, violinist Graeme Jennings forges an unpredictable path through the audience, like a pilgrim on a spiritual quest. Nono’s piece requires the highest level of collaboration from the sound engineer, who must mix eight independently recorded parts in real-time, responding in the moment to the violinist’s live performance. A groundbreaking work by one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century, the piece will be paired with a pre-concert talk by Nono expert Bruce Durazzi, and a post-concert discussion moderated by Italian music expert Luciano Chessa. After the performance there will be a reception in the lobby with prosecco donated by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura. This event is presented in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute. Special extra event! *moderator |
