Received from the amazing flutist / SFS collaborative partner Claire Chase:
I can’t quite believe it, but after nearly two years of cancellations and postponements I am finally gearing up to play my first live solo show in New York! I would be so delighted if you could join me for this passage.
The eighth annual installation of the Density 2036 project is underway at The Kitchen, with world premieres of new works for flute and electronics by Ann Cleare, Wang Lu, and Matana Roberts. Each piece will be paired with a gorgeous new video work by Ailbhe Ní Bhriain, Polly Apfelbaum, and Matana Roberts. I’ll play a tiny reprise from last year’s Density by Liza Lim at the opening of the program, and close with the old 1936 warhorse herself.
I’m honored to be joined onstage by some superstar collaborators: my longtime partner-in-crime Levy Lorenzo, Wizard of All Things Sound; the percussion magician Susie Ibarra; Senem Pirler, an intermedia sound artist of astonishing range and sensitivity; and Nate Wooley, the protean trumpet virtuoso.
My dear and brilliant friend Ara Guzelimian will host the pre-concert talk with the composers before the opening night show. And I am grateful to be working with the literal dream-team of collaborators behind the scenes: Nick Houfek, production and lighting designer; Monica Duncan, projection designer; and Kelly Levy, stage manager extraordinaire.
We’ll do three performances: Thursday, Dec 9 at 8pm; Friday, Dec 10 at 8pm; Saturday, Dec 11 at 2pm. The Kitchen is selling tickets at 50% capacity to be COVID-safe, so they’ll go fast. Here’s the link.
