WNMF5 – TUNING THE VOID
The Most Famous Unknown Composer in the World
Feb 04
Centennial Concert Hall
7:30PM
James Tenney – a composer’s composer – has had enormous influence in the 20th century yet is little known outside his own circle. This evening explores the music of Tenney through his acolytes – his student Matthew Patton, Georg Friedrich Haas on whom he had a major influence, John Luther Adams who also studied with Tenney. Lineage by rising young Canadian Zosha Di Castri and Pulitzer Prize winner Christopher Rouse’s 3rd Symphony complete the evening with video art by Viewing Method Group.
