Experimental Music FestivalDuring May and June this year, CMW will be presenting a series of concerts around the theme of Experimental and Contemporary Music. In part, this mini-festival represents a continuation of a commitment to new music (think back to the Listen Local theme from a recent season, where we featured works by living local composers on each concert). But with this mini-festival, we’re also hoping to feature the idea that as a performing body, the CMW Players are exploring and defining a 21st century Providence style—commissioning and performing music that captures and contributes to the sound of Providence. What does it sound like when we create 21st century music as a group of professionals and students across this city? Listen and find out! Look out for performances by the PSQ of Osvaldo Golijov's The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind; another installment in Mark and Laura Cetilia’s successful Ctrl+Alt+Repeat series; an evening of solo music by contemporary composers including Forrest Larson; and an evening of experimental music curated by pianist Sakiko Mori that will include CMW students improvising. Check our website calendar for details. We hope to see you! -Sebastian Ruth, CMW staff |
