Birmingham New Music Festival: ELECTROACOUSTIC

Presented by Birmingham Art Music Alliance and UAB Department of Music at UAB - Mary Culp Hulsey Recital Hall

Opening the concert is Andrew Raffo Dewar’s Spatial Study (2019) for live electronics, which traces the motion of sound particles in 3D ambisonic space. Violinist Meg Ford will perform her own Improvisation with Field Recordings. Craig Hultgren will present two works for electric cello with fixed media, un_Learn by local composer Brian C. Moon and Lacrimosa MMXVIII by Wisconsin-based Joseph Koykkars. Guitarist Jeremy Grall will play William Price’s Crucible, exploring the wide range, unique extended techniques, and non-traditional harmonic resources offered by the instrument. Joel Scott Davis’ Triptych is a multi-movement fixed-media piece with video by Drew Young. The concert closes with Geni Skendo’s Burningham with David Phy on trombone and Skendo on contrabass flute.

This event is co-sponsored by the Birmingham Art Music Alliance and the UAB Department of Music. The 2019 Birmingham New Music Festival is made possible in part by grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
