SUMMARY:A Tribute to Martin Boykan: Cygnus with Sharon Harms and Jessica Bowers
DESCRIPTION:“Since time passes slowly in music\, we are immersed in a world that is richer and more eventful than ordinary life\,” Martin Boykan wrote in Silence and Slow Time: Studies in Musical Narrative (2004).\nBoykan’s life was certainly richer than most. Having made his recital debut aged 15\, when the New York Times described him as “an authentic talent\,” he went on to become not only a renowned pianist but also a celebrated composer and revered teacher\, a key figure in the development of the Music Department at Brandies University. At Harvard\, where he studied with Walter Piston\, Paul Hindemith and Aaron Copland\, he chased roommates away by playing Bach and Beethoven late into the night. \nMuch-honored as a composer\, Boykan was a generous teacher\, and always said that each activity enhanced the other. Composer Eric Chasalow\, a Brandeis colleague\, described Boykan as “a very rare kind of person. He had a really penetrating musical mind. He could look at a score – even newly written by a student\, very young – and get to the heart of the issues… It was never about him. And I think that with artists\, that is rare.” \nDiptych\, a quintet\, was composed for Cygnus in 2013 and first performed by the ensemble at the Italian Academy at Columbia University in a program presented by the League of Composers/ISCM. \nRichard Festinger is “an American master” (WQXR) whose music is “notable for its combination of propulsive energy with an impeccable sense of poise and balance” (Tanglewood Music Festival). His extensive catalogue of vocal and instrumental compositions has won him international recognition and numerous awards and commissions\, and his composing residencies have included the MacDowell Colony\, Yaddo\, the Aaron Copland House\, and the Rockefeller Foundation Study Center in Bellagio. \nBorn in Massachusetts\, Festinger has made his life and career on the West Coast. A professor of music theory and composition at San Francisco State University\, he is the co-founder of Earplay\, the San Francisco based modern music ensemble. As a young guitarist\, Festinger backed Joan Baez at Woodstock\, part of the Struggle Mountain Resistance Band with Jeffrey Shurtleff. Festinger was a friend of Resistance founder David Harris\, Baez’s draft-resisting husband. The full set is now available as Joan Baez Live at Woodstock. \nThe sextet Hidden Spring was written for Cygnus who premiered it in 2004. Its title\, taken from a line in a poem of Robert Frost\, alludes to the idea of a source from which the music flows\, but a source that is only felt\, and not quite discernible. The aesthetic shares something with abstract expressionist painting\, where expressivity is a property of the gestures themselves\, rather than of a depiction of something familiar. \nCygnus is guitars\, winds\, strings in pairs — the Elizabethans called such a formation a “broken consort”\, meaning the instruments were from different families. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nList of performers \n\nJohn Ferrari\, conductor\nTara Helen O’Connor\, flute\nJames Austin Smith\, oboe\nCal Wiersma\, violin\nNatasha Brofsky; cello\nWilliam Anderson\, mandolin\nOren Fader\, guitar\n\nProgram includes\nDavid Claman: The Maldive Shark\nMartin Boykan: Diptych (quintet for Cygnus) and Sea Gardens\, featuring Sharon Harms\, soprano and Joan Forsyth\, piano\nRichard Festinger\, Hidden Spring\nCarman Moore: A Village Triptych for guitars\, mandolins and soprano (setttings of poems by Gamel Woolsey\, Djuna Barnes and Lennox Raphael) \nTICKETS\nPay what you wish.

SUMMARY:The Village Trip GuitarFest I – "Bowery Haunt" In Memory of Scott Johnson
DESCRIPTION:GuitarFest ’23 begins with a tribute to Scott Johnson\, with his “Bowery Haunt”\, for two electric guitars. It will be performed by the Cygnus guitarists William Anderson and Oren Fader\, for whom the piece was composed in 2005. \nScott Johnson’s New York Times obit highlights “Johnny Somebody”\, an early technical marvel\, turning recorded speech into rhythms and musical motives — \nJohnson was very proud of “Johnny Somebody”\, but his genius went far beyond that technical achievement. He built-up downtown and experimental idioms into a megalopolis — his New York City. “Bowery Haunt” is a great example\, beginning with murky thuds on the low strings and developing into a powerful rock tune\, subsiding into a lyrical inner section before a rock-out ending. \nMarti Epstein’s “for guitars and cello” was written in the 80’s\, at around the same time that she attracted the attention of Hans Werner Henze at Tanglewood\, leading to a commission to write a puppet opera for the Munich Biennale. \nAnd first peformances — \nGary Philo’s Meditation\, Homage à Larry Coryell was written as a kind of remembrance of an extraordinary performance by jazz guitarist Larry Coryell. Philo had been listening to Larry Coryell for many years\, and some years ago\, he had the great fortune to hear him play in a little place in Larchmont\, The Water Cafe\, which is now defunct. It was an icy winter night\, and there were only about 10 people in the place. “He was magnificent – one of the best musical experiences I’ve had.” \nAmy Reich’s “Three Simple Songs” for piccolo and guitar\, performed by Liz Hogg and Denis Savelyev\, and other new works by Frank Brickle\, Christian Carey. \nThe program will end with a guitar orchestra version of David Amram’s exquisite film music for Elia Kazan’s Splendor in the Grass. \nComposers \n\nScott Johnson\nFrank Brickle\nDavid Amram\nChristian Carey\nMarti Eptstein\nAmy Reich\nGary Philo\n\nPerformers \n\nKevin Gallagher\nLiz Hogg\nDan Lippel\nOren Fader\nWilliam Anderson\nDenis Savelyev\nPeter Argondizza\nPascual Araujo\nRianne Mision\nChris Rispoli\nNoam Beili\nJack Ward\nDaniel Zapata\nAdriana Valdez\nJessica Bowers\n\nGuitar Ochestra Members \nG1\nDan Lippel\nNoam Beili\nDavid Chidsey\nKevin Robert\nAdam Negrin \nG2\nDaniel Conant\nNeil Beckmann\nAlejandro Castellano\nPascual Araujo\nDiego Andrade \nG3\nEbin Samuel\nR Mision\nChris Rispoli\nOren Fader\nJohn Chang \nG4\nJack Ward\nNeil Beckmann\nDaniel Zapata\nPeter Argondizza\nKyle Miller \n\n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BUY TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE
