It would be to your detriment to miss An Anti-Music Social with the Anti-Social Music collective, who are proud to present our third semi-annual presentation of premieres of new work by emerging NY-based composers:
Friday, June 21st @ the tres chi-chi CAMI Hall, 8pm.
165 W. 57th at Seventh Ave., across from Carnegie Hall
Yes, we're moving up in the world, to fancy, respectable establishments. We'll try not to break the fine china.
Our composers are performers, our performers are composers, and the audience in always attractive. ASM members are involved in projects from subway busking to Lincoln Center recitals to Knit Tap Bar gigs to all-ages punk soirees, and it shows. Our motto: all premieres, all the time.
This evening's show will feature, in addition to art and design by the always charming and lovely scrapworm, the following new works:
- PETER HESS: Three Pieces for Saxophone Quartet {self-explanatory}
- ERIK JAKEBSON: String Quartet No. 1
- DAN LASAGA: Lycanthropy of A Poe Poem {soprano, alto, baritone, clarinet, violin, cello, piano}
- PAT MUCHMORE: Fracture II {cl, tenor sax, horn, bone, guitar, piano, string qt.}
- JOHN WRIGGLE: Hero Cops & Olympic Gold (SymphonASM No. 1) {2 clarinets, 2 violins, cello, mandolin, electric guitar, 2 pianos}
