12 Nights Miami: Music of Judith Shatin Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 2PM.Bakehouse Arts Complex at 561 NW 32nd St., Miami FL, 33127. In collaboration with the Bakehouse Arts Complex. $10 donation.
A profile concert of acclaimed composer Judith Shatin (www.judithshatin.com) will feature a mix of acoustic and electroacoustic music performed by some of South Florida’s most outstanding performers. These include Christopher Graham (cello), José Lopez (piano), Aaron Merritt (clarinet) and Laura Wilcox (viola). The music ranges from For The Birds (cello and electronics made from birdsong from Yellowstone) to Cherry Blossom and a Wrapped Thing; After Hokusai (clarinet and delicate electronics) to Penelope’s Song (viola and electronics made from weaving sounds) to Chai Variations on Eliahu HaNavi, a set of eighteen variations for solo piano based on the popular tune often sung at the Jewish Sabbath. And, to wrap it up, there will be a performance of Tape Music∞, for any number of participants and electronics made from playing with all kinds of tape – such as duct, packing, etc. The performers are students from the New World School of the Arts and Florida International University, conducted by the composer. Judith Shatin is known for her colorful and dramatic music, called ‘… highly inventive music on every level: hugely enjoyable and deeply involving, with a constant sense of surprise…” by The Washington Post. Her music engages our social, cultural and physical environments. Shatin is no stranger to Miami audiences, having served as composer-in-residence for the Deering Estate Chamber Players series for several years, with additional performances at the Bass and Wolfsonian Museums.
Shatin composes for the concert hall, including chamber, choral, electroacoustic, and orchestral music, as well as composing for interactive installations, dance, film and multimedia. Known for her path-breaking electroacoustic music, with sound sources ranging from the sounds of a working coal mine to the crunch of a potato chip, she has also created a major body of evocative acoustic music. Her music has been commissioned by groups such as the Fromm Foundation, Library of Congress and Cassatt and Kronos Quartets. A recipient of multiple fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, her work has been honored with a two-year retrospective sponsored by the Lila Wallace Readers Digest Arts Partners Program. She is William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Music at the University of Virginia, where she teaches composition, songwriting and computer music. Judith Shatin will introduce her music and be available to talk to audience members at the reception following the concert.
