Quartet New Generation at Merkin Hall on April 10, 2006
Kaufman Center presents the award-winning Quartet New Generation (QNG), a recorder collective rapidly becoming known for their innovative programming and dynamic stage presence (helped along by over twenty types of recorders!), on Monday, April 10 at 8 PM at Merkin Concert Hall. Hailed as "four recorder virtuosos" by The New York Times, Quartet New Generation's Andrea Guttman, Hannah Pape, Heide Schwarz and Susanne Frölich bring a fresh eye to early recorder music and juxtapose it with contemporary works, many of which have been commissioned. At Merkin Concert Hall, the group will be performing their program Ethereal. Ranging from the early Renaissance to more contemporary times, composers featured include Thomas Tomkins, Ferrabosco, Ciconia, Mencuso, Serocki, Meijering and Mensignh. Tickets are $20. Order at Kaufman Center's site, or by calling 212-501-3330.

Yoav Gal's Multimedia "Mosheh" at Merkin Hall on March 29, 2006
Mosheh is a uniquely personal depiction of the biblical saga of Moses in his early years. It examines the relationships between Moses and his mother figures while also interpreting the connection between Moses and God, a jealous and fearsome father figure. The opera is set in a present-day urban landscape that utilizes video clips of contemporary, "grungy" Brooklyn to reinterpret the human essence of the biblical tale. The piece is structured with God as narrator (sung, chant-like, by an alto and counter-tenor in unison), the "mothers" as central characters in various tableaus and the role of Moses performed by a dancer. Mosheh was developed in collaboration with and will be performed by Ensemble Pamplemousse, a new music group devoted to bringing theatricality and improvisation to the stage. TEA (Transpersonal Education & Art), a contemporary dance company, will also perform. The performance takes place at Merkin Concert Hall (129 W. 67th St.) at 8pm on this Wednesday, March 29, 2006. Tickets are $15, and can be ordered at Kaufman Center's site, or by calling 212-501-3330.
About Yoav Gal
Israeli composer Yoav Gal has been living in New York since 1988. Since that time, he has developed a large and respected portfolio of multi-disciplinary works that combine music and imagery. His growing list of operas includes The Dwarf, Venus in Furs and Mao Zedong–Jealous Son, which have met positive reviews in the New York media. Gal’s collaboration with new-media artist Yael Kanarek, Music for World of Awe, was featured in the 71st Whitney Biennial, and his polyphonic work for digitally manipulated voice, Yours Forever, is currently on the "Writing with Computers" syllabus at MIT.
About Ensemble Pamplemousse
Founded by Natacha Diels, Rama Gottfried, and Dawn Kim in 2002, Ensemble Pamplemousse dedicates itself to the production and performance of new works. The ensemble strives to create a concert experience that combines theatricality, set and costume design and improvisation with exceptional musical skill. As part of the creative process, the group regularly meets with composers to discuss the possibilities of each work, both musically and dramatically. This philosophy allows each concert to be entirely different from the last. Ensemble Pamplemousse is based in Brooklyn.
About TEA
TEA is a contemporary dance company, founded in 2005 by Israeli and Iranian-American artists who converse, explore and define a mutually understood language via movement studies, interdisciplinary collaborations, cultural-exchange and educational opportunities. TEA premiered its first season with add : infinitum at The FLEA Theater in May 2005. TEA’s 2006 season includes performances at DTW, Joyce SoHo, The FLEA Theater and St. Mark’s Church.
