SUMMARY:The City of Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:Performance by the woodwind quintet\, City of Tomorrow \nFree\nDoors at 7 pm | Performance at 7:30 pm \nAbout City of Tomorrow:\nThe City of Tomorrow is a woodwind quintet with a fearless aesthetic and a commitment to 21st-century music. Gold medalists of the 2011 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition\, the ensemble has been presented in New York at the DiMenna Center\, Trinity Wall Street\, Spectrum\, and at IN\TER/SECT\, co-presented by Bryant Park and Chamber Music America. \nTheir U.S. tours have included prestigious festivals and series\, including the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Series in Chicago\, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival in Michigan\, and Red Note New Music Festival in Illinois. The quintet’s work has also been supported by residencies at the Banff Center for Arts & Creativity and the Avaloch Farm Music Institute. Their 2018-19 season includes residencies at Tufts University in Boston and the Vermont College of Fine Art. \nIn 2015\, the quintet began exploring physical movement and spatial relationships in their concert programming. Championing 20th and 21st-century works by Harrison Birtwistle\, Esa-Pekka Salonen\, Julia Wolfe\, and others\, the quintet uses lighting and choreography to create a seamless and immersive musical experience. \nFrom 2012 to 2014\, the quintet was engaged in a musical exploration of climate change\, which culminated in the commissioning of major new works from composers Hannah Lash\, Nat Evans\, and John Aylward. The City of Tomorrow’s first album\, Nature\, released on PARMA/Ravello in 2014\, further wrestled with questions of human involvement in the natural world. Exploration of these natural themes resulted in a new work from Hannah Lash\, Leander and Hero\, which was supported by a 2014 Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Grant. \nThe City of Tomorrow’s members are in demand as new music specialists\, curators\, collaborators\, and teachers. As an ensemble\, they have recently given residencies at Vermont College of Fine Arts\, Berklee College of Music\, Indiana University\, Tufts\, and Yale. Members of the ensemble can also be heard with some of the finest ensembles in New York and beyond\, including Talea Ensemble\, ICE\, and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. \nElise Blatchford / Flute\nStuart Breczinski / Oboe\nRane Moore / Clarinet\nNanci Belmont / Bassoon\nLeander Star / Horn

SUMMARY:Blueshift Ensemble with ICEBERG New Music
DESCRIPTION:Blueshift Ensemble is collaborating with ICEBERG New Music to present a free concert in the Crosstown Concourse Central Atrium. \nICEBERG New Music is a New York City-based collective of composers who will be spending a week in Memphis working with Blueshift musicians to put on a performance of their compositions. Sponsored in part by Amro Music. \nFree (donations accepted) \nProgram: \nString Quartet No. 4 “Aftermath” by Harry Stafylakis\nImogen for flute and piano by Stephanie Ann Boyd\nThe Impossible Object for violin and piano by Alex Burtzos\nString Quartet No. 1 “Earth Tones” by Jonathan Russ\nKill James for bassoon\, cello\, and piano by Derek Cooper \n\n\n\n\nAbout ICEBERG New Music:\nFounded by composer Alex Burtzos in 2016\, ICEBERG new music is a collective of ten young composers based in New York City. The mission of the organization is to promote the idea that substance – not surface – is the heart of music creation and perception. We live in an era where dogma is out of place; composers can\, and should\, draw from an unprecedentedly broad array of influences in their work – including popular music\, avant-garde techniques\, and everything in between. The ten ICEBERG composers hail from different schools and cultivate radically different sounds\, but their contrasting musical languages belie shared emphasis on structure and depth of meaning. When these artists compose for the same ensemble and present their works during a joint concert\, the result is a glimpse into the ever-widening possibilities of art music in the twenty-first century. ICEBERG is committed to radical stylistic inclusiveness\, excellence of craft\, dialogue with the audience\, and a modernization of the concert-going experience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Blueshift Ensemble:\nBlueshift is a Memphis-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. By programming both new and existing classical repertoire alongside multi-genre collaborations\, Blueshift aims to connect a wider audience to today’s classical music. The ensemble draws upon Memphis’s uniquely diverse musical heritage by combining classical music with popular music genres such as rock\, blues\, and soul and featuring local musicians\, visual artists\, and composers.
