Hoppy T. Frog Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I'm definitely going for the Braxton and Bley, and the Cale/Conrad (whenever it will be). Would love to see, but can't make, the Fujii and Walter/Evens/Halvorson. Quote
Ron S Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 any dates for these? Time for me to take another Philly trip - You might even be able to drag me along to a couple of these. Quote
AllenLowe Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 would love to see Bley; I'm supposed to video an interview with him - also would be great to ambush Braxton, who's not returning my emails- Quote
felser Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 any dates for these? Time for me to take another Philly trip - You might even be able to drag me along to a couple of these. I'd be up for the Sanders/Drake and the Zankel depending on date and work schedule. Quote

Chalupa Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Friday, October 10, 8pm ANTHONY BRAXTON'S FALLING RIVER QUARTET Anthony Braxton, saxophones + contrabass clarinet Erica Dicker, violin Sally Norris, piano Katherine Young, bassoon + contrabass bassoon Settlement Music School, 416 Queen Street $35 General Admission. Seating is very limited. All 10/10 ticket holders will receive free admission to the 10/11 concert. Please join us for the North American premiere of Anthony Braxton's Falling River Quartet. Braxton states that “Falling River Musics is the name of a new structural prototype class of compositions in my music system that will seek to explore image logic construct ‘paintings’ as the score's extract music notation.” ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Saturday, October 11, 8pm COMPOSITION N.103 (for Seven Trumpets) Taylor Ho Bynum, Tim Byrnes, Forbes Graham, Sam Hoyt, John McDonough, Nicole Rampersaud and Nate Wooley, trumpet; and Anthony Braxton, conductor COMPOSITION N.169 (for Brass Quintet) Taylor Ho Bynum, trumpet; Nate Wooley, trumpet; Jeremy Thal, French horn; Reut Regev, trombone; Jay Rozen, tuba; and Anthony Braxton, conductor St. Mark's Church, 1625 Locust Street $10 General Admission Anthony Braxton’s Composition N.103 (for Seven Trumpets) features 145 pages of notated music and choreography for seven costumed instrumentalists (costume design by Rosemary Kielnecker). Composed in 1983, the 45-minute piece was first performed in 2005, in a fully staged and costumed realization at Wesleyan University celebrating Braxton’s 60th birthday. ANW's performance will be the Philadelphia premiere, and only the third performance anywhere, of this major work! Composition N.169 (for Brass Quintet) is one of the seminal pieces in the composer’s oeuvre, yet has only once been performed by the intended instrumentation. Written for brass quintet (on swivel chairs), N.169 consists of an hour of intense and unrelenting rhythmic complexity, contrasting with sections of lush, static harmonies. Until now, Braxton never found an ensemble brave enough to tackle the imposing piece. This ANW performance marks only the second time this composition will be staged with its original instrumentation. Purchase tickets today at http://www.arsnovaworkshop.com. Quote
