I’ve been shamefully out of the
habit of posting during this past year, but the good news is there are lots of
performances coming up!
Palomar, the performing arm of
Access Contemporary Music will be performing at the Empty Bottle on Saturday,
August 11, 2012, as part of the Empty Bottle’s Thirsty Ear Festival. Our founder
and executive director Seth Boustead launched a radio show on WFMT last year
called “Relevant Tones.” It’s the first radio show focusing on contemporary
music and hosted by a classical music station, and it’s been a great success so
far. We are very proud of Seth! Next Saturday’s performance will be broadcast
live on this show, and a few other contemporary music ensembles in Chicago will
take the stage as well: The Chicago Q Ensemble, MAVerick Ensemble, and
James Falzone. “Official” information is here on ACM’s website.
On Palomar’s program are a set of three pieces by Seth, two
of which we premiered at the Zhou B. Art Center last month, a lively and
intriguing piece called “Yellow” by Lansing McLoskey, a flute and drum duet
I’ll play with Renee Keller called “Devil Dance” by Payton MacDonald, and the latest iteration of
our Composer Alive
electro-acoustic collaboration with sound artist Ben Vida.
The rest of our performance season with ACM is posted on
their brand-new website.
Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you at an ACM function this year. You can sign up for ACM's emails here.
