    “Passionate Geometries” Richard Cameron-Wolfe

    8:00 pm

     Leonard Nimoy Thalia

    2537 Broadway, New York, NY 10025

    The artist collective Nomads NYC presents “Passionate Geometries” a 53-year retrospective concert of the creative work of composer Richard Cameron-Wolfe

    More info and tickets: https://www.symphonyspace.org/events/vp-passionate-geometries

    The artist collective Nomads NYC presents “Passionate Geometries” a 53-year retrospective concert of the creative work of composer Richard Cameron-Wolfe, featuring eight challenging contemporary works – three premieres and five first stagings, the evening offering a provocative interplay of art-forms: visual art [by Kevin Teare], chamber music, drama, opera, dance, and poetry/literature. The evening features fourteen outstanding New York City contemporary performing artists plus special guests from New Zealand, Russia/Kazakhstan, Boston, and Los Angeles.

    The program opens with Iris – scuro/chiaro for piano – in memory of pianist Menahem Pressler, performed by his former student Gayle Blankenburg. Next is the micro-opera A Sound-Shroud for Bill Knott – portraying the iconoclastic American poet as he confronts his mortality (featuring Butoh dancer Mariko Endo); then the cello-piano duet Time Refracted (possibly abstract, possibly not). The first half concludes with Heretic, a micro-opera for guitarist, inspired by Arthur Machen’s haunting 1907 novel The Hill of Dreams, performed by Aaron Larget-Caplan.

    The second half begins with Cameron-Wolfe’s 1970 micro-opera MeMarie, sung by Nina Berman; written just after the passing of Marie, his beloved grandmother. Next is the dance duo Lilith – in Alisher Khasanov’s provocatively eccentric choreographic reinterpretation of the legend; then the US premiere of Cameron-Wolfe’s 2023 microtonal guitar sextet Arcturus – 36 strings traversing the outer limits of tonality. The evening concludes with the micro-opera Passionate Geometries – in which a discouraged young poet is taunted and ultimately inspired by her Muse, liberated.

    Since her age twelve debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Beth Levin has been celebrated as a bold interpreter of challenging works, from the Romantic canon to leading modernist composers like David Del Tredici and Frank Brickle, both of whom have written works for her. The New York Times praised her “fire and originality”, while The New Yorker called her playing “revelatory”.

    Milton Babbitt
    –Danci

    Pascual Araujo
    –Tri-harmonic

    Babbitt, Boretz & Brickle have all lived a life in music that gradually and inexorably built a musical hermeneutics, wherein a musical perspective/orientation triumphs over the hermeneutics of suspicion (suspicion of words). In this perspective, musical experience is the model or basis for a broader approach to difficult normative questions — grounding and value structuring. Brickle was a serious student of Ben’s Metavariations and Babbitt was a very early and enthusiastic reader of it.

    Benjamin Boretz (benjaminboretz.org) was born in 1934. He was one of the first composers to work with computer-synthesized sound (Group Variations II, 1970–72). In the late 1970s and 1980s he converged his compositional and pedagogical practices in a project of real-time improvisational music-making, culminating in the formation at Bard College of the music-learning program called Music Program Zero, which flourished until 1995. Much of the work of this project is posted on the website bejaminboretz.org under the title THE INNER STUDIO. Central to this project were a series of duo keyboard conversations with J. K. Randall, some of which are issued on OPEN SPACE CDs.

    His writings include Meta-Variations, Studies in the Foundations of Musical Thought (1970) which addresses the epistemological questions involved in the cognition and composition of music, and propounds a radically relativistic/individualistic/ontological reconstruction of the musical creative process. LANGUAGE, AS A MUSIC (1976) is a verbal-vocal composition that explores the originary qualities of music and language.

    In 1962 Boretz co-founded (with Arthur Berger) the composers’ magazine Perspectives of New Music. In 1988 he, Elaine Barkin and J. K. Randall founded Open Space (a composers’ cooperative for recordings, books, and scores). The Open Space Magazine was started in 1999 (with Mary Lee A. Roberts), and is currently edited with Dorota Czerner, Tildy Bayar, Jon Forshee, Dean Rosenthal, and Arthur Margolin. He was principal music critic for The Nation from 1962 to 1970. His texts and music from the 1950s to the present are published and recorded by OPEN SPACE.

    Composer Frank Brickle has pursued an eccentric path to the music he is writing now. He was born, musically speaking, into High Modernism: at Princeton, his chief teacher and mentor was Milton Babbitt, and he worked long and hard to master the esoteric style and techniques of that milieu. Between then and now, however, he has worked even longer and harder to mould those same arcane techniques to the needs of a much wider range of styles, from high down to low, and much in between. Brickle has created over eighty-five compositions, and a number of arrangements and transcriptions, for a wide range of instrumental ensembles and media.

    Many of his earlier pieces employ synthesized and processed sound. Over time, however, he has concentrated increasingly on writing for instruments and the voice, as he has come to treasure especially the unique moment when the performers have begun to be comfortable with the score and start making the music their own. And while his music has been evolving a great deal over more than four decades, he has attached much importance to continuity: Rather than rejecting 20th-century Modernism, he has devoted much effort to adapting and transforming its methods and techniques into a more personal, expansive, intimate, and inviting dialect.

    Guitarist/composer Pascual Araujo lives in Queens New York. He studied guitar with William Anderson at Queens College. He is a freelance musican and a member of the NYC Classical Guitar Orchestra and the The Villate Trip Guitar Orchestra.

    BACH AND BERNSTEIN
    Chichester Psalms
    by Leonard Bernstein
    Mass (Concert excerpts) by Leonard Bernstein
    Christmas Cantata BWV 63
    by J.S. Bach

    “Awake, psaltery and harp! I will rouse the dawn!” The Cecilia Chorus of New York celebrates the season with music by Leonard Bernstein and J.S. Bach. A famous advocate for world peace, Bernstein crafted a musical plea for unity in divided times with his by turns rousing and serene Chichester Psalms. His Mass (with additional lyrics by Tony Award-winner Stephen Schwartz) pulls classical, rock, and pop idioms into exhilarating musical synthesis. Rounding out the evening is Bach’s only Christmas cantata to use four trumpets, in its first-ever Carnegie Hall performance.

    With Every Voice Children’s Chorus, Nicole Becker, Director; All-City Chorus, Kristy Jung, Director; Singers’ Workshops at Teachers College, Columbia University, Jeanne Goffi-Fynn, Director.
