March Madness

It must be March. We have a snowstorm scheduled for tomorrow and it'll be in the 60s again by Saturday. The Big East tournament begins at Madison Square Garden in about ten days and I'm expecting the West Virginia Mountaineers to prevail--through sheer will power and the mojo of Kevin Pittsnoggle's tattoos--over much larger, more talented teams from UConn and Villanova.

But, I digress. The really big news for March is that Capital M is staging its first ever World Premieres Extravaganza on Tuesday, March 21st at the Cutting Room. The concert, which begins at 8:30pm, will feature seven new works by seven different composers, five of which have been written specifically for this event. The program is the recipient of a Meet The Composer Creative Connections grant, and composers David Claman, Jennifer Fitzgerald, Monika Heidemann, Bradley Kemp, Ian Moss, Frank J. Oteri, and Stefan Zeniuk will be on hand for a question-and-answer session before the concert. I'm especially intrigued by the promise of Frank J. Oteri's Imagined Overtures, a multi-movement work in 36-tone equal temperament. I might have to stay up late and make a rare personal appearance. See full press release.

Couple of blasts from the past in the blogs this morning. The always amusing Lou Bunk ran into some S21 bloggers at the Spark Festival in Minneapolis and worries if he is missing out on something by not blogging more...Arnold Rosner writes that Mozart is not the worst composer in history; just the most overrated...And Jeffrey Sackmann discovers that you don't mess with an audience's intermission expectations.

Update: Speaking of West Virginia, Steve Hicken has posted a neat review of a couple of Bridge recordings of my fellow Mountain State native, George Crumb.
