I just wanted to forward along the latest update from our Beyond Cage festival, taking place Oct. 22 - Nov. 7 in NYC. The festival includes the complete material of Atlas Eclipticalis – 90 minutes, 86 instruments – with Ursula Oppens & Joseph Kubera playing Winter Music simultaneously. This one's at Carnegie Hall, Isaac Stern Auditorium.
The program also includes Music of Changes and Concert for Piano and Orchestra (Joseph Kubera / piano), Freeman Etudes (Conrad Harris / violin), percussion works (Talujon Percussion), and 103 (Janacek Philharmonic Ostrava).
In addition to the Cage, there's a program of major orchestra works by Morton Feldman that some of you might be interested in – including the American Premieres of both Flute and Orchestra and Violin and Orchestra.
thanks all,
Andrew Smith / S.E.M. Ensemble
