Even Sweeter Music

The return of pianist Sarah Cahill's A Sweeter Music commissioning project, this time at Old First Concerts, 1751 Sacramento (at Van Ness), San Francisco, CA. July 31, 8 p.m.

That's tomorrow, you know. Be there, or be square. If you're there, you get to hear a couple of my favorites from the program she performed earlier this year at Hertz Hall and several works not yet performed or not yet performed in CA:

Meredith Monk- excerpt from Steppe Music
Frederic Rzewski- Peace Dances
Phil Kline- The Long Winter (California premiere)
Jerome Kitzke- There Is a Field
Peter Garland- from After the Wars (premiere)
Kyle Gann- War is Just a Racket (California premiere)
Michael Byron- Devotion to Peace
Terry Riley- Be Kind to One Another

That was a great concert, and the spoken word pieces by Kitzke and Gann were really extraordinary. Nice seeing you there with the Vaz.
