New York City
On the occasion of Mystical Symbolism: The Salon de la Rose+Croix in Paris, 1892–1897, the Guggenheim presents a durational concert featuring Erik Satie’s Vexations (1893). Observing one of Satie’s instructions literally, this one-page piano work is to be repeated 840 times, lasting for almost 19 hours in an unprecedented serial undertaking that anticipated the Minimalist and Conceptual concerns of the 1960s. I will be one of several pianists performing this work continuously at the Guggenheim between September 26 at 7 pm and September 27 at 1 pm, with my three slots occurring from 8:40-9:00 AM, 10:20-10:40 AM, and 1:00-1:20 PM on September 27th.

Peter Child: 10 Basho Poems world premiere
David Horne: Spike
Zhou Long: Metal, Stone, Silk, Bamboo
Yazhi Guo, soloist
Joyce Mekeel: Rune
William Kraft: Kaleidoscope
Acclaimed by music critics as “the best suona player in China,” Guo Yazhi makes his BMV debut as our featured soloist in a complex and intriguing work by Pulitzer Prize-winner Zhou Long. In Metal, Stone, Silk, Bamboo, Yazhi will showcase an array of unique woodwind instruments chosen in consultation with the composer that are rarely seen or heard in the West.
Representing the West (by way of the Northeast) are works by four composers with long ties to BMV: A world premiere by MIT’s Peter Child, and previous BMV commissions by Joyce Mekeel, William Kraft, and Scottish composer David Horne. Child returns after a successful world premiere on our Family Concert last season. Mekeel was a longtime peer and friend of BMV Music Director Richard Pittman based in Boston. Kraft, based in LA, has proven a BMV favorite with a particular talent writing for percussion, his primary instrument. And Horne, while from across the pond, wrote Spike for us while he was studying at Harvard.
