 Guest Artists in Recital – The California E.A.R. Unit
Visually, theatrically and electrically charged compositions form the latest evening from Los Angeles’ adventurous new music ensemble The California E.A.R. Unit. Highlighting internationally renowned composer Miguel Azguime, the Unit performs the pre-composed electronic sounds and live electronic strategies that fill the gap between words and music in his theatrically driven On Music: literally Speaking. Chris Tonkin's Widdop, Phaetons, Relic draws on three poems by Ted Hughes to inform compositional features such as gesture, timbre and organization for each of its movements. Live electro-acoustic manipulations of tea cups, playing cards, pocket watches and children's songs entwine with projections informed by lesser-known iterations of Alice in Wonderland in David Dvorin's haunting new work As Alice. And rounding out the program, Shaun Naidoo's stark Nothing Left to Burn twists and warps the sounds of the trio, and added melodica, to evoke the devasting fire that consumed the mountains above Los Angeles.

 Chapman Chamber Orchestra performance to be featured in The Phillips Collection
The Phillips Collection, the first modern-art museum in the United States and recognized for its intimate galleries, recently selected a recording to pair with its upcoming “Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens’’ exhibition. Via YouTube, they chose the Chapman Chamber Orchestra's recording of “La Création du Monde’’, a jazz-influenced work by composer Darius Milhaud.
The Chapman Chamber Orchestra's performance will be incorporated into the Man Ray exhibition, scheduled to run from October 10 through January 10 at The Phillips Collection. Man Ray (1890-1976), American Dadaist and Surrealist artist, translated the 20th-century modernist taste for African art into photographs that reached a popular audience.
Listen to the Chapman Chamber Orchestra perform “La Création du Monde’’. Congratulations to Daniel Alfred Wachs and the Chapman Chamber Orchestra! |
