Composer Portraits
Undersong (world premiere)
16 (2003) Aperture (2007) The distance (this) (2008) (world premiere, Miller Theatre commission) THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURED IN A PREVIOUS SEASON! Onstage discussion with Jason Eckardt As a rock ‘n’ roll guitarist, Jason Eckardt (b. 1971) was guided and shaped by the music of Frank Zappa; then he heard the music of Webern for the first time. That seminal moment compelled him to become a composer. Influenced by the New Complexity school, his music is fiendishly difficult and brimming with rhythmic energy. This Portrait features the world premiere of his cycle Undersong, which includes a Miller Theatre commission. Read this concert's program notes by Paul Griffiths. Major support for the Composer Portraits series is provided by the Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trust. Additional support is provided by The Aaron Copland Fund for Music. |
