New Music Marathon at Northwestern University featuring Alvin Lucier - May 21, 2006

The Northwestern University School of Music and New Music Northwestern are pleased to announce the seventh annual New Music Marathon, a daylong event featuring nine hours of new and experimental music on Sunday, May 21, 2006.

This year’s Marathon will spotlight the work of Alvin Lucier, our featured guest composer, including three rarely performed works – Carbon Copies (1989) for saxophone, piano, percussion and environmental recordings, Panorama (1993) for trombone and piano, and Music for Cello with One or More Amplified Vases (1992) – as well as Lucier’s seminal Music on a Long Thin Wire (1977), a sound installation for audio oscillator and electronic monochord that will run throughout the day’s events. Mr. Lucier will be in attendance.

Other composers represented include John Adams, inaugural winner of Northwestern’s Michael Ludwig Nemmers Prize in Musical Composition, Augusta Read Thomas, Jason Eckardt, Arvo Pärt, Stefano Gervasoni, Paul Koonce, Paulina Sundin, Steven Takasugi, and several young Chicago area composers. Performers include the outstanding Chicago pianist Amy Dissanayake, ensemble dal niente with soprano Tony Arnold, members of International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), the Fine Arts Music Society, and several student musicians from the Northwestern University School of Music.

The concerts begin at 2:00 p.m. in the TV Studio of Lewis Hall with two concerts of multi-channel electroacoustic music and a concert of improvised music. The event resumes at Pick-Staiger Concert Hall at 6:00 p.m. and continues to 10:30 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.

Campus maps and driving directions can be found at http://www.northwestern.edu/visiting/maps/ Parking is free. Admission is free. For additional information, contact the Pick-Staiger Box Office at (847) 491-5441.
