UW student composers' work to be performed
Work by student composers will be presented Dec. 3 in Brechemin Auditorium.
The program includes two movements from “Object: Sound,” by Abby Aresty — “Green Latex Gloves on Glass” and “Needle, Tracing.” According to the composer, these represent “the first efforts in a series of works exploring representations of objects in sound.”
“Nightpiece,” by Michelle McKenzie, is an impression of the poem by James Joyce. Musicians include Sarah Marroquin, voice; Michelle McKenzie, violin; Kim Rivera, viola; Natalie Hall, cello; Trevor Bortins, bass; Elizabeth Jolly, flute; Miriam Champer, clarinet; Josiah Boothby, French horn; Brennan Carter, trumpet; and Steve Harreld, trombone. Marcin Paczkowski is the conductor.
Richard Johnson Logan-Greene composed “Study for Submersible,” which he describes as an algorithmic piece for a mechanical instrument called the submersible.
Sarah Marroquin (voice) and Yigit Kolat (piano) perform “Boję się ciebie, ślepy wierszu (…) [I’m afraid of you, blind verse (…)],” by Marcin Paczkowski, which is a song set to the poem by Polish poet Rafał Wojaczek. A second composition by Paczkowski, “Structures,” will be performed by saxophonists Ivan Arteaga and Paczkowski. This is a saxophone duet involving elements of a real-time computer improvising system.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 cash or check at the door. For more information call 206-685-8384.
