The program brings together two seemingly unrelated worlds: the rigorous chromatic pointillism of Morton Feldman (whose centenary we celebrate this season), and iconic works from popular and electronic music. The common thread between these divergent elements is the performer. What may sound like remixes or reimaginings are, at their core, simply interpretations — shaped by the same creative impulses that guide any artist working across genre boundaries.

Hong Kong/Canadian/American pianist Vicky Chow has been described as “brilliant” (New York Times) and “one of our era’s most brilliant pianists” (Pitchfork). Since joining the Bang on a Can All-Stars in 2009, she has collaborated and worked with artists including Tania León, Meredith Monk, Steve Reich, George Lewis, John Zorn, Julia Wolfe, David Lang, Michael Gordon, Alarm Will Sound, International Contemporary Ensemble, Wild Up, Tyshawn Sorey,  John Zorn, and Kronos Quartet among others.

Islands evoke myriad vivid impressions and captivate our imaginations. As places of stunning beauty, mystery, and isolation, “where the contours of the land itself form a kind of sinewy poetry,” countless associations come with the very mention of the word. Islands conjure a range of emotions and flights of fancy, from images of wild, exotic natural wonders, to metaphorical and spiritual connections. In this program, Nic Gerpe will present a range of colorful and evocative pieces which explore the many aspects and connotations of islands, from the imaginary landscapes of Almeida Prado’s Ilhas to Thomas Osborne’s poetic and virtuosic And The Waves Sing Because They Are Moving. The program will include captivating works by Donnacha Dennehy, Salina Fisher and Christopher Cerrone, and will feature world premieres of “30 for 30” Piano Spheres commissions by Robert Pollock, José-Luis Hurtado and Paul Moravec.
