Monday Evening Concerts
PATRICK GRANT GROUP
Live at OPIA
130 East 57th St.
New York City
JUNE 6, 2005
Patrick Grant Group will perform on Monday, June 6, 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.
Patrick Grant Group (Grant w/ Kathleen Supov�, Marija Ilic & John Ferrari) reunites for its first performance of 2005. On this program they will be playing new compositions for three keyboards and percussion, featuring amongst them Grant's "Driving Patterns," "Breaking Butterflies Upon the Wheel," & "ATF: Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms" as well some older favorites. The music has "...a driving and rather harsh energy redolent of rock, as well as a clean sense of melodicism ... the music's momentum and intricate cross-rhythms rarely let up, making the occasional infectious tunes that emerge all the more beautiful for surprise." - The Village Voice
Patrick Grant has created musical scores for the theatrical visionary Robert Wilson (three installations and a theatrical piece), the Louvre Museum (an installation for the Mus�e du Quai Branly), the Cornell Gamelan Ensemble (a tone poem after a scenario by Artaud), the Living Theatre (two theatre pieces, a one-act opera and,
most recently, contributed music for the documentary "Resist!" which won the prize for best documentary at the EuropaCinema Festival in Italy, 2003), and the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company in San Francisco (a piece called "the strangest and most ravishing dance of the year" by the SF Chronicle and nominated for Best Dance Score of 2003 by the Isadora Duncan Dance Awards). As a presenter, Mr. Grant has produced literally dozens of concerts of new music in the alternative spaces of New York, in art galleries, theaters, factory lofts and clubs, since 1988. He is founder and artistic director of Strange Music Inc., an organization dedicated to releasing recordings and presenting compelling new work with performances and installations in New York and around the world.
Kathleen Supov� is one of the most acclaimed contemporary music pianists of our time, occupying a unique position through her continuous search for what is new and provocative. Kathy has spent the last decade producing a series of solo concerts entitled The Exploding Piano, in which she has performed and premiered countless works by emerging and established composers. The series has received rave reviews and thrilled audiences everywhere. In the last two seasons, Kathy developed The Exploding Piano into a multimedia experience by using theatrical elements, vocal rants, performance art, staging, electronics, and collaboration with artists from other disciplines and director/writer Valeria Vasilevski.
Marija Ilic is an active performer of the traditional repertoire and new music in New York City and has been praised as a "clear and decisive musician...compelling...poetic" by The New York Times. Her performances include recitals at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC, Musica Viva in Belgrade, Clark Studios at Lincoln Center, as well as the Aldeburgh Festival in England, Norfolk Contemporary Music Festival, Bolzano Festival, Trinity Church concert series and the Schumann Festival.
Enjoying an extremely varied career, John Ferrari is a versatile drummer, classical and hand percussionist, conductor, educator and composer/arranger in the New York City area music scene. He is a founding member of the Naumburg Award winning New Millennium Ensemble and long standing member of Meridian Arts Ensemble Brass & Percussion. Frequent recipients of the ASCAP/CMA Award for Adventurous Programming, both groups have collectively released nine critically acclaimed recordings.
