WNMF6 – A FRENZY OF SOUND
Ursula Oppens, Rzewski & The Quay Brothers

“it seemed to me there was no reason why the most difficult and complex formal structures could not be expressed in a form which could not be understood by a wide variety of listeners” – Frederic Rzewski
Light and sound come together in an eclectic program featuring the Quay Brother’s original film collaboration with Karlheinz Stockhausen, In Absentia, and grand-dame of modern piano Ursula Oppens’ heroic performance of Rzewski’s monumental tribute to the Chilean struggle against an oppressive dictator. Canada’s own “brilliant musical scientist” Nicole Lizée contributes a multimedia work that entwines electronic and acoustic sound with live video performance.
