SUMMARY:28th Annual MATA Festival: Night Three: Local Music
DESCRIPTION:‘Local music’ refers to Feldman’s focused exploration of isolated\, quiet\, and intimate sound moments – the “local” action of a single note or chord over the overall structure\, creating a physical sound-world that emphasizes the tactile\, immediate properties of sound. The seven-member BlackBox Ensemble (flute/clarinet/piano/percussion/violin/cello/voice)\, conducted by Leonard Bopp\, plays finely detailed scores by Laila Arafah\, Erich Barganier\, Kristupas Bubnelis\, Gillian Rae Perry\, Floriana Provenzano\, and Jessica Shand. Rounding out the program are two iconic works by Feldman from the 1970s: For Frank O’Hara\, and I Met Heine on the Rue Fürstenberg.
