EVE BEGLARIAN & COREY DARGEL with MARGARET LANCASTER
Live at OPIA
130 East 57th St.
New York City
JUNE 20, 2005
Eve Beglarian and Corey Dargel with Margaret Lancaster will perform on Monday, June 20, 6:30 p.m., in the performance space at OPIA, 130 East 57th Street (at Lexington). Tickets are $15 at the door and the doors open at 6:00 p.m.
Composer/performers Eve Beglarian and Corey Dargel are joined by flutist Margaret Lancaster for an evening of idiosyncratic art songs and electro-cabaret numbers. The trio combines Lancaster's virtuosic versatility with Beglarian's heartfelt sincerity and Dargel's deadpan delivery as the composers swap lead vocals and take on each other's songs. The program features selections from Beglarian's forthcoming CD "FlamingOs of the New World," Dargel's "Born and Raised" (a Lancaster commission), and some new versions of old favorites.
"One of new music's truly free spirits," and a "remarkable experimentalist," Eve Beglarian is a composer, performer, and audio producer whose music has been described as "an eclectic and wide-open series of enticements." Her chamber and orchestral music has been commissioned and performed by the American Composers Orchestra, the Bang on a Can All-Stars, the California EAR Unit, Rel�che, the Paul Dresher Ensemble, Sequitur, Dinosaur Annex, and the Robin Cox Ensemble, among many others.
Her experience in music theater includes music for Mabou Mines' Obie-winning Dollhouse, Animal Magnetism, and Ecco Porco, directed by Lee Breuer; the collaboration Hildegurls' Ordo Virtutum, which premiered at the Lincoln Center Festival; Forgiveness, a collaboration with Chen Shi-Zheng and Noh master Akira Matsui; and the China National Beijing Opera Theater's production of The Bacchae, also directed by Chen Shi-Zheng.
Corey Dargel is a composer, performer, and lyricist whose "elegantly skewed electronic art songs" (Time Out New York) have established his reputation as "a rising master of the postmodern love song." (Artsjournal.com). "A postmodernist looking at the pop song from the outside, he turns irony upside down. Rather than subvert a sincere surface message, he wore all his self-conscious distancing on his sleeve, but underneath you began to suspect he rather heartbreakingly meant what he sang." (Village Voice) His performances have been called "forlornly optimistic," and critics have lauded "how smoothly he slides between sincerity and irony" (Time Out Chicago) in his music. Dargel is currently an Artist-in-Residence at HERE Arts Center.
Flutist of choice for hoards of composers, Margaret Lancaster is an artist who hasn't merely 'pushed the envelope' of flute performance and repertoire, she's redefined it with fearless technique, musicianship, wit, and a clear sense of performance values. Lancaster's early interest in new music, specifically the works of Elliott Carter, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Steve Reich, was fostered while studying music at the University of Louisville and Brooklyn College where her primary teachers were Francis Fuge and Harold Jones. Noted for her inter-disciplinary collaboration with writers and composers, she has built a large repertoire of contemporary flute works composed specifically for her, that employ extended techniques, dance, drama, multi-media, and electronics.
