Lyric Chamber Music Society of New York presents
Special Composers Showcase: Charles Strouse
Classical Music and A look at “NEW MORNING” a musical by Charles Strouse

Kosciuszko Foundation, 15 East 65th Street
(between 5th & Madison Aves)
New York, NY

Patricia will be performing with pianist Matt Herskowitz three classical songs - The Fly, Pastoral, and The Smile - by Charles Strouse, renowned composer for Broadway and television, on a special concert in his honor.

Concert details:

The Lyric is proud to dedicate an evening to an important American composer, Charles Strouse. We are thrilled to have an opportunity to explore his classical music and to offer you a 'sneak preview' of a work in progress. An historic concert and reception not be be
missed....

Over the years, since Lyric's inception, we have had programs focusing on a single composer; and April 18, 2012 is a continuation of that series. But this one has a new twist:

Charles is known, respected, admired and loved for his Annie, Bye-Bye Birdie, and other works for Broadway. A new production of Annie is in the works. We are proud to have him as a Lyric Board member and to have the privilege of showing you his 'classical' side as well as new aspects of his compositional talent and musicianship. He will be performing his own music, quite a rare treat and opportunity, and Richard Maltby, who is his collaborator on a brand new show, will be with us.

Plus our own Matt Herskowitz, Lyric's Artist and Composer in Residence, and Bela Horvath, with his colleagues David Lisker, Mujan Hosseinzadeh, and Jennifer Choi to play Charles' String Quartet. A once-in-a-lifetime event in the intimate setting of the beautiful Kosciuszko Foundation with a reception to meet the artists in the wood-paneled dining room afterwards.

New York, NY
Suggested Donation: $20 Students & Seniors: Free

Patricia will be singing a cycle of four songs by Debra Kaye entitled 'Slants of Light.' With music set to four poems by Emily Dickinson, the songs were originally composed for baritone and piano. Patricia will be performing them with pianist Hiromi Abe for the first time in a new arrangement for mezzo soprano and piano.

The cycle begins with the hopeful, somewhat child-like "Not knowing" what life has in store or that death lay ahead. Although Patricia is not a mezzo, her extensive range allows her to sing with full resonance the low A-flats below middle C in the ominous second song "There's a certain slant of light" that warns of impending death. The third song, "I heard a fly buzz,' juxtaposes the calm, well-planned and practical approach to death with the insidious, angst-building buzzing of the fly. The fourth song, "This is the land the Sunset washes," expresses the beauty and expanse of the Western landscape. The music can be heard as a calm, more mature acceptance of the cycle of life just as "Merchantmen poise upon Horizons Dip and vanish like Orioles."

The complete program includes:
Elliott Carter La Musique, for soprano solo
Robert S. Cohen An Ant's World, for marimba 4-hands
Dinu Ghezzo Wild Flower*, for clarinet solo
Debra Kaye Slants of Light, for soprano & piano
Peri Mauer Pixeliance**, for flute, harp, & marimba
Nataliya Medvedovskaya The First Snow, for oboe, bassoon, violin, & piano
Nailah Nombeko Four Songs to Poems of William Blake, for soprano & piano
Matt Weber Swing Sonata: Waltz Rondo, for saxophone & piano

Join the composers and performers for Music & Drinks! Free!!

About 'ballets & solos'
"Composers Concordance Records first release, ballets & solos, combines engaging larger recently-written contemporary pieces with solo works. The ensemble pieces are performed by the versatile International Street Cannibals ensemble and are quite varied. Good Time, by Joseph Pehrson is a fun dance chamber piece with almost a rock beat, Gene Pritsker's A Challenge to the Dark is a brooding and deeply intelligent artistic journey into musical poetry and Dan Cooper's Dance Suite invites jazz and pop rhythms into the mix. To contrast these larger works, we are pleased to present two pieces by the prominent American composer Otto Luening: Fantasia & Dance, an engrossing, but also light-hearted romp performed by the extraordinary violinist Lynn Bechtold and Dance Sonata by Luening, another inviting vernacular form for solo piano played by the new music virtuoso Taka Kigawa. Pat Hardish's Solo for Pete is one of a series of written-out pieces for drum set commissioned by the exceptional percussionist, Peter Jarvis. It uses many striking and smashing techniques of the trap set. Finally, the extremely challenging solo guitar work, Dead Souls, by Gene Pritsker concludes our music. This piece, played by the talented guitarist Greg Baker, combines recurrent melodies with intricate finger work, providing a fitting intimate close to our new recording enterprise."

'J.S. Bacalhau'
St Mark's In-The-Bowery
131 East 10th Street at 2nd Ave.
New York, NY
Tickets at the Door: $10

Patricia Sonego premieres a new work written for her by composer Patrick Grant. With characteristic Brazilian syncopations and long, gorgeous vocal lines, the piece features Patricia on vocals accompanied by Patrick Grant on keyboard and computer and Philip Galinsky on percussion. The piece will be danced by Megan Sipe who created the original choreography.

Villa Lobos re-mixes, body percussion and tapdance, invocations performed on Brazilian berimbau, belly dancing, and capoeira bouts, combine with audacious adaptions of J.S. Bach's music: The concert will highlight the 'contoural' characteristics of Bach, as well as the rhythmic proclivities of Brazilian music, dance and martial arts, and the kinship of these modalities. The program will include Bach solo works played by Taka Kigawa (piano) and by Lynn Bechtold (amplified violin), original compositions by Dan Cooper, Patrick Grant, Milica Paranosic, and Gene Pritsker, plus striking arrangements of Bach by Wotan "Lefty" Barrett, Dave Taylor, and Lawler & Fadoul, in a variety of settings. The evening will close with 2009 New York Philharmonic commission recipient Arthur Kampela, as he plays and sings several of his deliciously unpredictable shorter works with his ensemble, and a full-ensemble exposition of Bach, in which the dancers and drummers of Philip Galinsky's Samba New York join in the general mayhem.

Musicians: Dan Barrett - cello; Claudio Barriga - percussion; Lynn Bechtold - violin; Dan Cooper - 7-string bass guitar; Dimitri Dover - piano; Jan Driscoll - percussion; Colin Eletto - percussion; Paul Fadoul - marimba; Philip Galinsky - percussion; Patrick Grant - keyboard; Kory Grossman - percussion, Arthur Kampela - guitar and vocals; Taka Kigawa - piano; Zara Lawler - flute; Eugene Mcelroy - percussion; José Moura - bass guitar; Milica Paranosic - berimbau and vocals; Patricia Sonego - soprano; Magnus Sweger - percussion; Mioi Takeda – violin; Dave Taylor - bass trombone; Vivian Warfield - percussion; Linda Wetherill - flute; Louis Winsberg - percussion; Robert Wood - percussion.

"Ancient Breath of the Sea"

A Memorial Concert

New York, NY 10018
Tickets: FREE, General Admission (Come Early)
Information: (718) 951-5792

An award-winning internationally published composer, Terry's primary focus was on chamber music and it is these timeless works that are featured in the program. Her music has been performed all over the world – on every continent, primarily in the US and Western Europe. Terry suffered from leukemia for many years; she passed away in July 2007. She finished her last work just one month before she died.

The program features a stellar cast of performers, including: Morris “Arnie” Lang, Richard O'Donnell, the Reizen Ensemble featuring Patricia Sonego, the Duo Gastesi-Bezerra, Scott Mayfield, Josh Frank, Isabelle O'Connell, David Gould, Christine Perea, and actress Sylvia Rhyns. Works for solo piano, two pianos, piano trio, percussion ensemble and solo instruments will be presented.

There will be a reception following the concert.

About Terry Winter Owens
Owens’ long time interest in astronomy, astrophysics and the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke inspired her to include narration with many of her works. Her works are not program music in the sense of 19th century instrumental program music that was intended to arouse mental images or create a mood. Owens said “the music does not attempt to describe any process or phenomena. Rather, the titles, the narration and the music itself may convey some of the feelings that were generated in me as I studied various astrophysical concepts. These concepts inspired the music and the text.” Some of the text also includes her English translations of Rilke’s poetry.

Owens won numerous awards, including two First Prizes in the IAWM’s Miriam Gideon contest; Second prize in the 1st annual CJAM (Contemporary Japanese and American Music); Finalist in the Whitney Museum Duo Piano Festival competition; Third place at the Concorso Internazionale Ennio Porrino; Semi-Finalist at the Omaha Symphony Competition. Her collection of children’s music, “Confetti” was selected ‘Best of the Year’ by Piano Quarterly in 1969.

Owens’ works are featured on seven CDs, two of which consist entirely of her music. Two more CDs of her music are in production.

Her publishers include Universal Edition, Doblinger, Carl Fischer and E.C. Schirmer.

Patricia speaks about composing for the voice with live electronics and pre-recorded playback, helping composers to understand how to write for a singer versus a vocalist, the special circumstances created by electronics, and what is needed in a score. The discussion centers on 10 important considerations that help a composer develop strategies and techniques to avoid pitfalls that can frustrate a performer and leave a poor audience bewildered.
