Benefit Concert with Pianist extraordinaire Stephen Drury

Seattle, WA For its first benefit concert, Seattle Modern Orchestra welcomes pianist Stephen Drury back to Seattle for an exciting and virtuosic solo recital. Drury’s program features three works rarely heard in Seattle: Serynade by German composer Helmut Lachenmann, Etudes Australes by American composer John Cage, and Charles Ives’ celebrated Concord Sonata. Lachenmann’s piece focuses on the inevitable natural law that the sound of the piano is always fading out! His Serynade explores how the piano sound can be kept alive, worked and shaped to stop its death and therefore, time. Cage’s Etudes Australes consists of 32 indeterminate pieces written using star charts, which results in an unbound independence of the performer’s hands. Finally, Ives’ Concord Sonata represents his “impression of the spirit of the transcendentalism” of Emerson, Hawthorne, the Alcotts, and Thoreau.

PROGRAM:

Helmut Lachenmann – Serynade (1987-88)

John Cage: Etudes Australes (1974-75)

Charles Ives: Concord Sonata (1915)

WHEN: April 29, 2013 – 8PM

CONCERT III: MUSIC IN SPACE

The orchestra will surround the audience for a total immersion into sound and bring forth the musicians’ placement in the hall and their movements as an expressive element of music. Canadian pianist and University of British Columbia faculty Corey Hamm will join SMO in the performance of György Kurtág’s … quasi una fantasia…, and celebrated Seattle pianist Cristina Valdes will be featured on Iannis Xenakis’ Eonta and the World Premiere of EisBerg by SMO co-Artistic Director Jérémy Jolley.
