Florida, Dresden PSAs
I'm composer-in-residence at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in February and March. I had announced here that the deadline for applying to join me there was October 20, but somehow it got extended until October 27, which is tomorrow. If you're still interested but hadn't made up your mind, or were afraid all those terrible things Ann Coulter is saying about me might be true (they're all false except the online casino addiction), you can still sign up through tomorrow here. I'd love to see you, it's been too long.
Tonight's concert of Disklavier music in the Leonhardi Museum at the Carl Maria von Weber Hochschule in Dresden boasts the following program:
György Ligeti: Etude 3, Touches bloquées
Conlon Nancarrow: Study No. 24
Ligeti: Etude 8, Fém
Nancarrow: Study No. 4
Michael Jordan: RANKEN (UA)
Nancarrow: Study No. 31
Kyle Gann: Petty Larceny
Gann: Texarkana
Nancarrow: Study No. 18
Ligeti: Etude 13, L'escalier du diable
Nancarrow: Study No. 26
Ligeti: Etude 9, Vertige
Nancarrow: Study No. 11
Wolfgang Heisig: Ringparabel
Heisig: Opus 70
Nancarrow: Toccata for violin and piano
Luc Houtkamp: Duo for Man Alone
Nancarrow: Study No.33
Ligeti: Etude 11, En suspens
Nancarrow: Study No. 20
Ligeti: Etude 14A, Coloana fara sfarsit
Wish I could be there, hangin' out with György, Conlon, Wolfgang, and Alexander Plötz, who organized it.
