The music of California-based composer D�Arcy Reynolds will be heard in two upcoming concerts in the San Francisco area:

Saturday, May 14, 2005 at 7:30 PM � Cloven Dreams for Orchestra will be performed by the San Francisco School of the Arts Orchestra at the school�s Theatre, 555 Portola Drive in San Francisco, California.

Wednesday, May 18, 2005 at 6:30 PM � Ten Day Miner for Concert Band will be performed by the Magnolia Intermediate Gold Band at Cottage Hill Elementary School Auditorium, 22600 Kingston Lane in Grass Valley, California. The piece was written in conjunction with a San Francisco American Composers Forum Community Engagement Grant. For more information about this concert, please contact the School at 530-268-2808 or visit them online at http://www.pleasantridge.k12.ca.us/magnolia.

Both of these concerts are free and open to the public.

Cloven Dreams was commissioned by Tessa Brinckman & the East/West Continuo of Portland, Oregon after visiting Helen Martins' Owl House in South Africa in the Summer of 2002. The programmatic work in three sections is based on African field recordings from the 1940's, as well as the inspiration provided by photographs from This is My World which charts Martins' life in South Africa. The orchestral version of the work was created as part of the composer�s residency at the San Francisco School of the Arts.

The composer has recently returned from an extended visit to South Africa and kept a detailed online trip weblog that can be read at http://www.sequenza21.com/reynolds.html or http://www.darcyreynolds.com/southafrica.html.

D'Arcy Reynolds is a well-known composer on the West Coast where her compositions have been premiered at numerous concert halls and music festivals. She has written works for orchestra, chamber orchestra, chorus, chamber ensemble, voice and piano. Recent premieres include her string quartet �Cloven Dreams�, performed by Tessa Brinckman & the East/West Continuo in Portland, Oregon, �Elegy� by the San Jose Chamber Orchestra, �21� for piano, and �The Past Keeps Changing�, performed at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, CA. In recognition for her outstanding work, D'Arcy has won several grants from such prestigious organizations as the American Composers Forum, the American Music Center and Meet the Composer.
