CalArts, Roy O. Disney Music Hall
MUSIC: Liam Viney and Anna Grinberg, working through the medium of two pianos, explore the range of 20th-century trends by using the music of the late CalArts faculty member James Tenney as a key nexus. Combining elements of serialism, minimalism and one of the oldest contrapuntal techniques in Western music, Tenney’s Chromatic Canon exemplifies his ability to effortlessly fuse disparate and almost ideologically opposed musical threads—all in his uniquely personal voice. The concert also includes performances of Steve Reich’s seminal Piano Phase, John Adams’ Hallelujah Junction, and, finally, Tenney’s Flocking—a computer-generated score whose ephemeral beauty opens remarkable new dimensions for performers and listeners alike.
