On Friday, December 13th at 7:00 p.m. the MUS 108 Bard Experimental Music Ensemble directed by Prof. Sarah Hennies, dir.) presents two large ensemble works. “Growing Block” by Sarah Hennies is an open-instrumentation guided improvisation/composition based on the “growing block universe” theory followed by a 40-minute work by acclaimed Swiss composer Jürg Frey, “Ephemeral Constructions.” Frey’s work asks performers to select their own sounds from any instruments and found objects in long-form, slowly developing music that is percussive in its first half and droning in the second movement. Frey is a member of the Wandelweiser group of composers, known for their radical work with extended durations, silence, and other experiments in timbre, perception, and sound.7:00 pm – 8:30 pm EST/GMT-5
Free and open to the public.
