Spain: Xenakis "Oresteïa"
2022-05-09 20:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Helsinki) | Chamber Orchestra of the Saragossa Auditorium, Auditorio de Zaragoza, C/ Eduardo Ibarra 3, Zaragoza, 50009, Spain
On the occasion of the centenary celebrations of the birth of Iannis Xenakis, the OCAZEnigma will present for the second time in Spain the complete version of the Oresteïa.
A work that oscillates between the conflicts of the Greek tragedy and those of 20th century Greece; between balance and chaos; all this under an atmosphere of modern primitive ritual.
This concert is presented with the friendly support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation and the Polish Culture Institute in Madrid.

Greece: Iannis Xenakis: Pleiades & Persephassa
2022-04-10 20:30 - 22:45 (Europe/Athens) | NY
It has been said on several occasions that, thanks to percussion, Xenakis reintroduced the problem of rhythm which we thought had disappeared from contemporary music. Architect, engineer and composer, this giant of composition writes music whose complex and harmonious structure constitutes a paradox with the explosive energy that is extracted from it.
From the close collaboration of Xenakis with the Percussions de Strasbourg were born, ten years apart, two fundamental works: Persephassa in 1969 and Pléiades in 1979. The first, working on the spatialization of sound, is a sound choreography. The second is one of the composer’s finest pieces. The richness of the timbres, the freedom and the coherence of the composition make this work a unique rhythmic adventure.
In 2022, Les Percussions de Strasbourg will celebrate both the composer’s centenary and the ensemble’s sixty years.
PROGRAM
Iannis XENAKIS – Pléiades (1979) 45 ′

USA: Yvonne Rainer’s "Remembering And Dismembering Trio A" With Brittany Bailey / David Behrman’s "Open Space With Brass" With Ed Bear & Ensemble
2022-04-06 20:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | The Flamboyán Theater at The Clemente Center, 07 Suffolk St, New York, NY, 10002, United States
ISSUE & The Clemente present an evening of pioneering work from choreographer and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer and composer David Behrman. Highlighting the artists’ work interpreted and presented by a new generation of artists, the evening features choreographer and performer Brittany Bailey performing Remembering and Dismembering Trio A (1966 – 2020), with excerpts from Peter Schjeldahl’s “77 Sunset Me.”
The program also features David Behrman’s Open Space with Brass, performed by Ed Bear and an ensemble under the direction of Chris McIntyre. The piece was originally commissioned for the final performances of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company (performed with TILT Brass) at the Park Avenue Armory in December, 2011.
…
David Behrman’s Open Space with Brass follows in the tradition of electroacoustic sound supported throughout the history of Merce Cunningham Dance Company. The piece also refers to the antiphonal music that Giovanni Gabrieli created for the Basilica di San Marco in Venice at the turn of the 17th Century. Gabrieli’s work made such specific use of the cathedral’s acoustics that groups of brass instruments situated in opposing choir lofts could be heard with clarity at distant points. Interactive music software, originally made for the site-specific 15-channel sound system that was in use at the Park Avenue Armory, linked the acoustic and electronic elements of Open Space: a 6-piece ensemble of trumpets and trombones filling the enormous Armory Drill Hall space with live and digitally processed sound. Behrman has recently reorganized elements of this software to be more accessible for other musicians to play. Ed Bear, who returns to ISSUE after an ambitious re-staging of John Cage’s Variations VII in 2016, manipulates the software, while trombonist Chris McIntyre leads an ensemble of cello (Aliya Ultan), bass clarinet (Madison Greenstone), and trumpet (Alexandria Smith).
The evening will conclude with a Q&A with Yvonne Rainer & David Behrman moderated by Chris McIntyre. They will discuss the history, transition, and legacy of their work as well as the process of teaching, learning, and presenting the pieces.
