In 2016, Wild Shore joins forces with the National Park Service in celebration of its Centennial, and presents concerts in Alaska, New York City, and Washington, D.C.
This year’s program is comprised entirely of pieces selected through our 2016 call for scores. We received over 160 submissions from composers around the world. The program includes:
Albert Behar, "Be Hear Now"
Ben Cosgrove, "Carrying Capacity"
Erik DeLuca, "Cascades"
Aaron Helgeson, "A place towards other places"
Aaron Kirschner, "Cryokenetic Variations"
Stephen Lias, “Jeffrey Pine"
Brian Simalchik, "Overlooks"
Max Stoffregen, "California Crest: Cinder Cone”
The pieces reflect on questions related to the National Park Service mission of preservation and conservation: How does instrumental music make us stop, look, and listen, while also modeling ways to move through and play with nature?
Wild Shore begins in Homer, Alaska on August 9. Our two mainstage concerts will be held at Bunnell Street Arts Center, a multidisciplinary arts space in Homer.
On August 23, NYC’s Federal Hall will host Wild Shore in free lunchtime and evening concerts.
On August 25, Founders' Day for the National Park Service, we will present an evening concert at Sylvan Theater on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. at 7pm.
We invite audiences at all our events to listen to, and reflect on, the age-old struggle to understand the natural world in all its beauty and danger.
The 2016 Wild Shore Ensemble includes some of the nation’s finest classically-trained musicians: clarinetist Ken Thomson (Bang on a Can All- stars), cellist Mariel Roberts (MIVOS String Quartet), percussionist Owen Weaver (Mantra Percussion), flutist Katie Cox (Hotel Elefant), violinist Andie Springer (TRANSIT New Music), and pianist Conrad Winslow.
