Music at First - Session II
"MUSIC AT FIRST series featuring pianist KATHLEEN SUPOVÉ!" on Friday, March 26 at 7:30pm.
Description
New York City-based pianist KATHLEEN SUPOVÉ will be the second featured performer in the inaugural season of MUSIC AT FIRST, and exciting new music series at First Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn Heights. Kathleen is one of America's most acclaimed and versatile contemporary music pianists, known for continually redefining what it means to be a pianist/keyboardist/performance artist in today's world. After receiving top prizes at the Gaudeamus Festival, she has annually presented a series of solo concerts entitled The Exploding Piano where she has performed and premiered works by both established and emerging composers.
This program will feature signature works by composers with whom Supové has had close musical associations: American Alvin Curran; iconoclast East Hartford composer Michael Gatonska; Dutch master Louis Andriessen’s intensely virtuosic seldom-performed work "Trepidus"; and "The Body Of Your Dreams", an audience favorite by current Dutch sensation Jacob TV, based on an American infomercial for the AB-TRONIC stomach-reducing machine.
• THE MEMORY OF ROSES (1992) by Louis Andriessen for Piano, Toy Piano, and Rose
• A SHAKING OF THE PUMPKIN (2007) by Michael Gatonska for Piano, Mallet, and Optional Bass Drum
• TREPIDUS (1983) by Louis Andriessen for Piano
• INNER CITIES by Alvin Curran for Piano
