IGOR STRAVINSKYSerenade in A is a work for solo piano by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. Completed on September 9, 1925, in Vienna and published by Boosey & Hawkes, it resulted from his signing his first gramophone recording contract, for Brunswick, and was written so that each movement could fit on one side of a 78 rpm record. The dedicatee was Stravinsky's wife Yekaterina.

EVE BEGLARIAN
BRIM: the River ProjectInspired by the echoes of Hurricane Katrina and the economic meltdown of 2008, award-winning New York composer Eve Beglarian decided to improvise her own unofficial WPA project, charting a four-month trip down the Mississippi River by kayak and bicycle in 2009. In the years following the trip, Eve has developed a repertoire of original compositions, adventurous arrangements of traditional songs, and spoken, photographic, and video portraits of people and places along the river. Each evening’s repertoire of stories, music, and images will be customized for the locations and communities where we are performing. The overall experience for an audience is not unlike a journey on the Mississippi River (and perhaps throughout America) itself: both familiar and strange — friendly, full of warmth and playfulness, but with complexity and darkness threaded just beneath. Some pieces begin from audio and video recordings made along the river, others are inspired by music and stories Eve heard along the way from the people she met. Eclectic and openhearted, the show traces the spine of the United States to reveal the ties that bind us together. |

intangible landscapes deals with the growing feelings of ennui and isolation I encounter[ed] living in New York over the past six years, and how perceived landscapes of memory shift, breathe and transform over periods of time. Many people I love no longer live here. I question whether a home is a tangible, real place, or if it exists in the intangibility and quiet intimacy of created and/or remembered landscapes that can only exist ephemerally. |
