As part of Merkin Concert Hall’s Fast Forward series, two of today’s top contemporary artists join hands for the first time for a one-night only collage of multi-genre and experimental music. Featuring composer/percussionist Lukas Ligeti on electronic Marimba Lumina and French composer/multi-instrumentalist Colleen on her favored electric viola de gamba, the program showcases both solo works and new collaborative, improvisational pieces. The colorful fusion of Ligeti’s disparate elements of African polyrhythms with Colleen’s mesmerizing, melodic qualities conjures up an infectious cross-cultural sound.

A trio of trios, for what is perhaps the most tender instrumentation of flute, viola and harp. Debussy’s sonata was an inspiration to young Austrian composer Johannes Maria Staud, writing his Sydenham Music last year, inspired also by a painting of the eponymous London suburb by Camille Pissarro. It follows a gem by the late, great Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu.
The performance lasts around 1 hour – then stay and meet the performers.

MAYA
John Hadfield, percussion
Jacqueline Kerrod, harp
Sato Moughalian, flute
A concert featuring works commissioned for MAYA, with four premieres.
MAYA, a trio formed in the summer of 2005, offers the uniquely compelling and rhythmically driven combination of flute, harp and percussion, performing classical and new music, world music, and incorporating improvisations into its performances. The mission of MAYA is to perform, record, and commission music from a broad variety of composers with special emphasis toward nurturing relationships with emerging young composers, as well as expanding our repertoire with music from a variety of cultures. Born out of the chamber music tradition and founded by three prominent New York City concert musicians, the ensemble has embarked on a major commissioning program, stretching the boundaries of the classical chamber concert and creating appealing programs that weave together music of diverse traditions. MAYA’s performances reflect the artistic vision of its members who seek to create a repertoire which mirrors their expanding ideals of beauty in an increasingly connected world. MAYA makes its first North American tour in the 2008-9 season, and travels to South Africa in 2009.
This free concert is made possible through the generous support of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Fund for Creative Communities and The Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Family Foundation.

BCMG is one of the world’s leading classical new music ensembles and was formed by players from the CBSO. The group is devoted to the performance of new music and has commissioned and performed over 100 world premieres of new works by today’s leading composers.
Once more in association with Integra, this extraordinary final concert of the season features a musical documentary by the outstanding Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin, looking at (and listening to) the experience of child soldiers in Africa. The situation is harrowing, but the story is also heartening, for Wallin is concerned especially with the ceremonies of song and dance through which brutalized children are reintegrated into society. While the instrumental ensemble conveys the transformation of an inner world, outer reality is represented by a video screen and computer sound system. With this music and theatre of actuality comes a chamber concerto of visionary dimensions by Jonathan Harvey, circling through realms of sampled and live instrumental sound.
