Kyle Gann on music after the fact

Coincidences Happen

Heavens, I’ve gotten so involved here that I’ve forgotten to publicize a second performance I have today. Pianist Aron Kallay is playing three of my microtonal keyboard works this afternoon, Fugitive Objects and the world premieres of Triskaidekaphonia and New Aunts. The concert is at 3 PM at Ramo Recital Hall at the University of Southern California, 820 West 34th Street, Los Angeles. My apologies for the late notification. Aron is doing very interesting-sounding graduate work on microtonal keyboard performance. I won’t be there because I’m a few hundred miles north giving a pre-concert talk for the Seattle Chamber Players’ performance of my Kierkegaard, Walking at Sacramento State. Having conflicting performances on the same day almost makes it sound like I’m one of those composers whose works get performed frequently, but I think we can chalk it up to coincidence.


What’s going on here

So classical music is dead, they say. Well, well. This blog will set out to consider that dubious factoid with equanimity, if not downright enthusiasm [More]
