The concert presents three world premieres commissioned by Random Access Music and Thomas Piercy—new works by Beata Moon, Frances White, and Andrea Casarrubios—together with recent compositions by Masatora Goya and Roger Stubblefield.
As part of the “Fifteen Minutes of Fame” project, audiences will also hear the premieres of 15 one-minute duos for hichiriki and low flutes, composed by Nantenaina Andriamorasata, Vahan Luder Artinian, David Bohn, Ross James Carey, Monica Chew, Philip Czapłowski, Douglas DaSilva, Paolo Geminiani, Simon Hutchinson, Sakiko Kosaka, Matt A. Mason, Gene Pritsker, Allen Schulz, Jane Wang, and Dalen Wuest. These miniature works, performed by Thomas Piercy (hichiriki) and Lish Lindsey (flutes), explore the delicate interplay between East and West—melding the sounds of the ancient Japanese instrument with the sound of the modern Western instrument.
RAM Dances continues the mission of Random Access Music and Tokyo to New York to bring new music and movement together. This program is funded in part by grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the Flushing Town Hall GO Queens program, and The Howard Gilman Foundation.
