Composers Concordance and Marsyas Productions present The Village & Phil Ochs<\/h4>\n

\u201cPhil Ochs was more than simply a songwriter. He wrote obsessively, because he had to \u2013 from his heart, his soul, his conscience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

So said Joan Baez, who took Ochs\u2019 classic \u201cThere But for Fortune\u201d onto the charts, singing it throughout her sixty-year career.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Phil Ochs was part of the Greenwich Village folk scene in the 1960s and \u201870s. He wrote protest songs in the spirit of Joe Hill and Woody Guthrie, and like Guthrie he was also a poet and journalist. His is an enduring legacy.<\/p>\n

While much of his writing reflected Ochs the political activist, Phil also wrote songs that were lyrical, philosophical and poignant, none more so than the hauntingly beautiful \u201cWhen I\u2019m Gone\u201d, written in 1966. He would die just ten years later and, in the days before his tragic death, Ochs asked his brother Michael: \u201cDo you think the songs will be remembered?\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Ochs is endlessly rediscovered and covered \u2013 by among others Ani de Franco, Alison Crowe, Billy Bragg and, most surprisingly, Lady Gaga \u2013 and his work continues to inspire and influence singer-songwriters.<\/p>\n

At DROM in the East Village, a group of composers will present new works influenced by Ochs, adding their unique voices to the musical conversation Phil started all those years ago. You might say, a conversation among \u201cA Small Circle of Friends,\u201d to borrow a title from one of Ochs\u2019 beautiful songs.<\/p>\n

Featured on the program are composers William Anderson, Lynn Bechtold, Frank Brickle, David Claman, Dan Cooper, Jennifer DeVore, Melanie Mitrano, and Gene Pritsker, as they take inspiration from Ochs' music and his milieu.<\/p>\n

The music is performed by Melanie Mitrano \u2013 voice; Bill Anderson<\/a> and Gene Pritsker<\/a> \u2013 guitars; Joan Forsyth<\/a> and Mari Asakawa<\/a> \u2013 piano; and Zentripetal - Lynn Bechtold violin and Jen DeVore, cello<\/p>\n

\"For the past 30 years, Composers Concordance has been a booster for local composers, through both its concerts across the city and a record label\u201d \u2013 Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Enterprising new music organization\u201d \u2013 The New York Times<\/em><\/p>\n

Composers Concordance is a presenting organization for contemporary music with a 32-year history of producing concerts in New York City, plus a record label, CCR, distributed by Naxos. The organization was established in 1984 by Patrick Hardish and Joseph Pehrson, advised by Otto Luening.<\/p>\n
