SUMMARY:Carolyn Enger\, piano
DESCRIPTION:Carolyn Enger performs a solo piano recital\, “Resonance” \n$10 Suggested Donation \nProgram: \nTrois Gymnopédies – Erik Satie (1866-1925)\nGustave Le Gray – Caroline Shaw (b. 1982)\nPrélude pour piano\, “La colombe” – Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992)\nSonata in G major\, Op. 78\, D. 894\, I. Molto moderato e cantabile – Franz Schubert (1797-1828)\nAuf einem anderen Blatt – Wolfgang Rihm (b. 1952)\nLes feuilles blancs – Pia Møller Johansen (b. 1988)\nNunataks – John Luther Adams (b. 1953)\nRêverie – Claude Debussy (1862-1918) \nBiography: \nPianist Carolyn Enger has gained critical acclaim for her lyrical and dynamic playing\, her deeply felt interpretations of works from Beethoven and Schubert to contemporary music\, and her warm personal approach. In addition to an active performance schedule\, Ms. Enger has enjoyed remarkable success as a recording artist\, particularly with her 2013 release of piano music by Ned Rorem\, Piano Album I\, on Naxos Records. Renowned critic Laurence Vittes wrote in his review for Gramophone (2/2014): “Enger raises the miniatures to a higher level by taking the time and care to capture the emotional impact each must have had when their dedicatees read their inscription and title\, and then heard the music for the first time.” The album was also selected by Anthony Tommasini as one of the “Best in Classical Recordings” by The New York Times. \nRecent highlights include a performance at Michaelis Kirche in Erfurt\, Germany; a Chicago residency with recitals at several Steinway Galleries\, the Chicago Public Library\, the Chicago Theological Seminary\, the PianoForte Foundation and a masterclass broadcast on WFMT; performances at the National Gallery in Oslo\, Norway; the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County in New Jersey; the Chelmsford Center for the Arts in Massachusetts; the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts; The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.; and a variety of recitals in the Tri-State area. \nWith a keen sense of history and identity\, Ms. Enger views music in the context of the unfolding of human affairs\, past and present\, leading her to design programs that relate the music she performs to the times in which it was composed. Currently these interests have stirred Ms. Enger to plan and present a multimedia concert program\, The Mischlinge Exposé\, set during the World War II period\, combining music\, literature and images that focus on the haunting memories of the lives of Mischlinge – half-Jews – in Germany before\, during\, and after the Holocaust\, an experience reflected in Ms. Enger’s own family history. Ms. Enger will present her ambitious The Mischlinge Exposé throughout New York\, New Jersey\, Iowa\, Texas\, Arizona\, Illinois and Massachusetts\, and has commissioned and premiered a new work written by the acclaimed composer Bruce Adolphe especially for this project. \nAn active recitalist with engagements throughout the United States and beyond\, Ms. Enger has performed at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center’s Bruno Walter Auditorium\, Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts\, The National Gallery of Art\, Cathedral of St. John the Divine\, Nantucket Musical Arts Society\, The Kosciuszko Foundation\, and the Tenri Cultural Institute. A recent collaboration with renowned illustrator and writer Maira Kalman featured Ms. Enger’s playing as part of “Maira Kalman Selects”\, an exhibition curated by Ms. Kalman at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York. Ms. Enger’s dedication to bringing music to new audiences has motivated her to perform in accessible civic spaces such as Israel’s Bet Yad Lebanim in Nahariya\, the Felicja Blumental Music Center in Tel Aviv and\, in New York City\, at St. Peter’s Church and the Donnell Library Center. Ms. Enger’s community engagement performances have left presenters and audiences\, in the words of Cheryl Wylen\, Program Director of the Backstage at the Y Concert Series\, “in complete awe of her passion\, skill and genuine warmth.” \nMs. Enger is a Steinway Artist.

SUMMARY:Riley Nicholson
DESCRIPTION:D. Riley Nicholson: Shimmer for piano\, electronics\, and projections\nTed Moore: feedback ix for electronics and objects \nAbout Shimmer:\nShimmer is a 50 minute musical work by composer-pianist D. Riley Nicholson for piano and electronics. Nicholson worked closely with sound designer Zach Miley to record\, sculpt\, and create an interface suitable for live electro-acoustic performance. Shimmer is performed by Nicholson alongside projected visuals created specifically for the production by artist Robby Gilson. \nTo shimmer is to reflect a wavering or distorted visual image\, to tremolo a fitful light. To shimmer is to flicker and allow the complexity of a beautiful light to evolve\, to open up the possibility of an object viewed from multiple perspectives simultaneously. From a different angle\, Nicholson explores Shimmer as a highly personal verb: We are remembered by how we reflected the light around us. We didn’t create our light\, but we do choose to spread and magnify it in a myriad of directions. Shimmer reflects these ideas as a repetitive tremor of shaking\, mesmerizing\, aural glare. \nAbout feedback ix:\nTed Moore will present his work\, feedback ix which explores physical materials\, resonant properties of space\, and the system of air molecules that is often overlooked when one hears music or sound. By amplifying large PVC tubes harmonic and melodic contours emerge from the physics of sound. Moore explores resonant properties molded in expressive ways\, often through the use of digital manipulation\, presenting both harmonic and inharmonic spectra. \nBios:\nD. Riley Nicholson has composed for a wide range of ensembles and performance venues including music for contemporary ballet\, theater\, orchestral music\, wind band\, chamber music\, vocal music\, and electronic music. Riley feels comfortable writing for electric guitar one day and string orchestra the next; his music can be described as metaphorically rich\, innovative\, and modern\, but never inaccessible or overly esoteric.\nFascinated and committed to working with artists outside of music as well as within\, collaborations include original music for Hot Air Music Festival\, Post:Ballet\, Switchboard Music\, Ballet Memphis’s Cecily Khuner\, Three Penny Theater\, Cello Street Quartet\, Amaranth Quartet\, SFCM New Music ensemble\, Balmoral Chamber Orchestra\, Ensemble Roar\, San Francisco Conservatory of Music Percussion Ensemble\, University of Memphis Percussion Ensemble and many other talented artists and organizations.\nRiley was the recipient of the Horizons Foundation grant in support of his work One\, for large string orchestra\, which headlined Hot Air Music Festival on March 6th\, 2016\, and received another Horizons grant in support of his Shimmer production. His music has been featured on I Care if You Listen TV and will be featured on Not Art Records 2017 Mixtape.\nRiley has a M.M. in Composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music\, a B.M. in percussion performance\, and a B.A. in psychology from the University of Memphis. \nhttps://www.rileynicholson.com/ \nTed Moore is a composer\, improviser\, intermedia artist\, and educator based in Chicago. His work focuses on fusing the sonic\, visual\, physical\, and acoustic aspects of performance and sound\, often through the integration of technology. Ted’s work has been reviewed as “an impressive achievement both artistically and technically” (Jay Gabler\, VitaMN)\, “wonderfully creepy” (Matthew Everett\, TC Daily Planet)\, and “epic” (Rob Hubbard\, Pioneer Press). Ted’s work has been premiered by the International Contemporary Ensemble\, Spektral Quartet\, The Dream Songs Project\, Yarn/Wire\, Splinter Reeds\, Quince Vocal Ensemble\, AVIDduo\, and others\, and has been performed across the country including at The Walker Art Center (Minneapolis)\, Spectrum (NYC)\, Root Signals Electronic Music Festival (Statesboro\, GA)\, and the Electroacoustic Barn Dance (Fredericksburg\, VA)\, among others.\nTed also frequently performs solo on electronics using his laptop\, modular synthesizer systems\, resonant physical objects\, lighting equipment\, and video projection. He has been featured as an installation artist by the Northern Spark Festival (Minneapolis)\, Studio 300 Festival of Digital Art and Music (Lexington\, KY)\, St. Paul Public Library\, TC Make (Minneapolis). As an improviser\, Ted is one half of Binary Canary\, a woodwinds-laptop improvisation duo alongside saxophonist Kyle Hutchins. As a theater artist\, Ted has worked with many independent companies\, notably with Skewed Visions and Savage Umbrella. \nhttp://www.tedmooremusic.com/

SUMMARY:Ment Consort
DESCRIPTION:Ment Consort\nPresents\nA Baroque Menagerie\nThe Ment Consort is an early music quartet formed in Chicago in 2015 with the intention\nof presenting the experimental and revolutionary music of the 17th\nand 18th centuries in a way that sounds new and fresh. Through historical performances on period instruments\, Ment considers how baroque composers stretched the boundaries of the instruments\, techniques\, and\nmusical genres of their time.\nThe core members of the group consist of Kiyoe Matsuura on baroque violin\, Morgan\nLittle on baroque cello\, Jason Moy on harpsichord\, and Mary Arendt\, soprano voice. The Ment\nConsort has collaborated with esteemed harpsichordists Alexander Weimann and Ketil Haugsand\nand has presented full length programs of music from France\, Italy\, and Germany. The Ment\nConsort will perform in Rochester this June as part of the Pegasus Rising Early Music Series. As\nthe members of the group are no longer all locally based\, we are looking forward to the unique\nopportunity to reunite this winter and present our music to Chicago area audiences once again.\nProgram\n“A Baroque Menagerie”\nProgram Duration: approximately 45 minutes\nThe MENT Consort explores the phenomenon of animal sounds in music from the\nBaroque. Each piece on this program mimics the sounds\, behaviors\, or personalities of specific\nanimals\, from birds to amphibians to mammals\, using creative and innovative compositional\ntechniques of that time period. We hope that many of the pieces will be new or unfamiliar to the\naverage audience member.\nJohann Heinrich Schmelzer (1623-1680)\nViolin Sonata in A Minor\, “Cu-Cu”\nGeorge Frideric Handel (1685-1759)\n“Qual Farfalletta” from Partenope\, HWV 27\n“Oh!

SUMMARY:Amazonland Chamber Players
DESCRIPTION:Alison Tatum\, violin; Sarah Hansen\, cello; Scott Griffin\, piano \nProgram \nZigeunerweisen\, Op. 20 by Pablo de Sarasate \nAndante from Cello Sonata\, Op. 19 by Sergei Rachmaninoff \nCarol of the Bells by Mykola Lentovych\, arr. Scott Griffen \n-break- \nPiano Trio No. 4\, Op. 90 “Dumky” by Antonín Dvořák \nAbout Amazonland Chamber Players \nOne evening in the fall of 2012\, Alison walked up to Sarah in a classroom at DePaul University and said\, “Hey\, let’s be friends.” Sarah said “Um\, ok\,” and gave her a weird look. Five years later found the two trapped in Alison’s car for 19 hours\, navigating a 400-mile traffic jam on the way home to Chicago from viewing the Great Solar Eclipse in the path of totality near the southern tip of Illinois. In between singing camp songs\, listening to Mahler’s Second Symphony (twice)\, taking selfies\, and drinking innumerable cups of coffee\, the two decided to make their occasional performances as a string duo into a regular event\, and the group Amazonland Chamber Players was born. They quickly reached out to other musician friends to join in the fun and gave their first official show as a string trio a few weeks later in their most frequent venue\, Spiegelberg Landscape Design’s “Amazonland” garden. \nBios: \nViolinist Alison Tatum is an active freelance performer and teaching artist in the Chicago area. An avid chamber musician\, Alison is a founding member of Amazonland Chamber Players and the string quartet\, Amethyst Ensemble. Alison can often be found in pit orchestras at various theatre establishments around Chicago. Alison began her musical studies at a young age in her native Kansas City\, Missouri and is a graduate of DePaul University’s School of Music in Chicago and the University of Missouri-Columbia. Her teachers include Dr. Olga Dubossarskaya Kaler\, Eva Szekely\, and Dr. Tony Brandolino. Alison maintains an active private studio at several locations in Chicago. \nCellist Sarah Hansen began her musical education in her hometown of Cincinnati and has since studied and collaborated with leading musicians across the country. Sarah regularly performs as an orchestral\, chamber\, and solo musician. She is also on the music faculty at Bradley University\, where she teaches cello and performs with the resident faculty chamber ensemble. Sarah is graduate of DePaul University’s School of Music in Chicago and The Hartt School of Music in Connecticut. Outside of performing and teaching\, Sarah dabbles in running marathons\, making artsy things and exploring Chicago’s many cafés\, restaurants\, and sidewalk libraries. \nScott Griffin\, a native of Florida\, has been playing the piano as long as anyone can remember. An active participant in piano festivals and recitals\, he has received awards at the regional and national levels. After graduating from the Moody Bible Institute in piano performance\, Scott became pianist for The Moody Church\, where he also toured China\, Norway\, Sweden\, Romania\, Spain\, France and Morocco. More recently\, he has teamed-up with Alan Curtis Tripp to present duo piano concerts throughout the country\, and is currently keyboardist for the Covenant Presbyterian Church of Chicago. At home in many musical styles\, Scott loves to perform\, arrange and improvise.

SUMMARY:Haiga Duo
DESCRIPTION:About the Haiga Duo \nThe Haiga Duo is a joint venture created by Jason Chen [piano and accordion] and Eric Hollander [viola and poetry]. Jason and Eric have been performing together across the United States since 2011. The duo is most interested in adapting literary and poetic forms into musical compositions. Our recent projects include a musical Renku\, a collection of prayers\, and an exploration of the memoir form. Some past projects have had to do with the procedural intricacies of reading/performing musical notation. \nBetween the two members of the Haiga Duo\, extensive scholastic and immersive experience in poetics and music has kindled an intense desire to reveal the inner core of what is foreign art for both. We have conducted a significant amount of research on traditional Japanese form poetry\, American folk music\, historical accordion folklore and testimony\, and many other crevices of the casual regions of music and poetry. In addition\, we have participated in several prestigious contemporary music programs\, including the Lucerne Festival Academy\, Gamper New Music Festival\, BANFF\, and more. Recently\, we were selected as Wildacres Artists in Residence as a composition/performance duo. \n  \nWhat to Expect \nOur current project is centered around the theme of ‘memoir’. We are gathering memories from various members of specific communities and codifying their responses into a piece of performative art [spoken word/poetry with music]. This is still a work-in-progress; we hope to continue collecting more ‘accordion stories’ or memories from anyone willing to share!
