SUMMARY:Ray-Kallay: Inflection Point
DESCRIPTION:Ray-Kallay celebrate California composers past and present as part of LA Philharmonic’s California Festival. You’ll hear works by Michael Byron\, John Luther Adams (with video by Johannes Bosgra)\, Joao Pedro Oliveira\, Rand Steiger\, Nina Shekhar\, Sean Friar\, Veronika Krausas\, and Vicki Ray. This concert features audio clips from each composer talking about when they lived in CA and what influences/inspirations our state had on their music. Some of the themes that run through this program are\, a closeness to and reflection of the natural world in the Adams\, Byron and the Oliveira pieces\, but also a reckoning with current times in the Adams and Steiger. There’s also a sense of freedom and play that one can’t help but think comes from living in Southern California. Overall there’s the ongoing melding of all things keyboardian into a “state of sound” which is reflective of the open aesthetic of California. \nThis concert is a co-production with 2220 Arts and Archives.

SUMMARY:Conor Hanick Plays Hans Otte's Book of Sounds
DESCRIPTION:Tickets available now! \n“I would say that behind my artistic work\, as an aim or hope\, is the need to find myself.  In other words: despite all the separating structures\, the division of all the work\, the ideologies\, fixed ideas\, systems\, despite the state and everything that ceaselessly tries to separate and divide us\, I fundamentally want to be complete.”\n​— Hans Otte \n“This work\, a masterpiece of restraint\, reflects the musical imagination of someone who has spent long periods in the quiet recesses of the mind.”\n​– Terry Riley \nThis Book of Sounds rediscovers the listener as a partner of sound and silence\, who in the quest for his world\, wishes for once to be totally at one with sound.  It rediscovers the piano as an instrument of timbre and tuneful sound with all its possibilities of dynamics\, colour and resonance.  The Book of Sounds rediscovers playing as the possibility of experiencing oneself in sound\, of becoming at one in time and space with all the sounds around one.  It rediscovers a world of consonant experience which could only now be written\n​because of a totally changed consciousness of sounds on earth.\n— Hans Otte \nFor Otte\, composing was a slow process of perfection\, taking place through the deepest levels of personality\, musicality\, individuality and consciousness.  With The Book of Sounds\, all the musical experiences and beliefs he gained over many years culminated in a single large cycle for his beloved\, true instrument\, the piano. After the age of mathematical serialism\, the composer felt a great need to return to the traditional powerful dichotomy between consonant and dissonant harmony\, letting the colours slowly fill the heavens in a most natural\, unbridled and ultimately peaceful way.  His efforts resulted in an intensely personal and intimate document of a human being: ​a book of sounds celebrating life in all its colours. A true labour of love.\n​— Ralph van Raat

SUMMARY:MARI KAWAMURA: “Ma”
DESCRIPTION:Mentored by Aron Kallay \nMa is an ancient Japanese concept concerning space and time\, which literally means “interval” or “gap” in Japanese.  It is a beautiful and philosophically nuanced word\, which carries the implication of movements within silence or “empty” spaces\, and has  served as an essential element in Japanese traditional arts. The program aims to uncover the inherent ma-like structures contained within music from outside of Japan’s sphere of influence. Although the formalization of ‘charged stillness’ as “ma” is uniquely Japanese\, the purpose of this project is to demonstrate that this is a global phenomenon and is in fact quite widespread. \nIn a polarized world where differences are often the focal point\, my program seeks to highlight similarities between seemingly contrasting compositions of different styles\, as well as the commissioned pieces by Karen Tanaka.  \nKatharina Rosenberger: Torsion\nToru Takemitsu: Rain Tree Sketch\, Rain Tree Sketch II\nSasha Sound: Three Aspects of MA (World Premiere)\nWilliam Duckworth: a selection from The Time Curve Preludes\nMichael Finnissy: Snowdrift\nIannis Xenakis: Evryali\nKaren Tanaka: Rose Crystal (World Premiere\, Piano Spheres Commission) \nSEASON SUBSCRIPTION: HERE \nThis concert is made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts

SUMMARY:Vicki Ray - Frozen Improvisations
DESCRIPTION:This recital explores Stravinsky’s famous quotation “All composition is frozen\nimprovisation.” Three of the works – Schnittke\, Poulenc and Bartok are called\n“improvisations” but are completely notated. So if those pieces are totally frozen\nwhat about pieces that are only partly so? Graphic works – (Smith) and pieces\nindicated by a set of verbal directions (Budd) are partly frozen in that some\naspects are determined and some not. And if one plays a transcription of an\nimprovised solo (Taylor) is that a composition or an improvisation? Then there\nare other classical titles for works that are essentially written out improvisations:\nFantasias (Deyoe) Impromptus (Kagel) and Capriccios (Ligeti) Finally the concert\nalso includes a real-time improvisation/conversation between the pianist and a\ncomputer program in which the players sightreading accuracy gives birth to how\nthe piece composes itself: Blue Sky Catastrophe: \nBlue Sky Catastrophe for piano\, live computer processing\, and spatial sound\, is\nbased on performer-driven generative musical processes. Musical phrases are\nalgorithmically generated live by the computer and the performer is asked to\nsight read them. The computer then assesses the performance and generates\nthe next phrase of music for the pianist – either more or less difficult based on\nthe pianist’s performance. The pianist is asked to read the music accurately while\nalso being given latitude to influence the computer’s musical decisions and pace.\nTherefore\, the score of the work is entirely performer-driven\, different in every performance. \nThe computer is set up to react not only to accuracy but also to\naspects of the playing that will control live generated electronics such as\nharmonic attractors and spatialization. The performer and computer are engaged\nin a feedback loop that explores degrees of stability\, periodicity\, non-periodicity\,\nmirco-tuning\, and quirky\, chaotic potential. \nPROGRAM\nAlfred Schnittke – Improvisation und Fuge (1965)\nWadada Leo Smith – Majestic (1995)\nFrancis Poulenc – Improvisations op. 15 (1932-59)\nHarold Budd – Piano Piece/Memories Returning (1967)\nMartin Herman/Seth Shafer – Blue Sky Catastrophe (2020)* \nINTERMISSION \nNicholas Deyoe – Fantasia (2005)\nMauricio Kagel – Impromptu (À deux mains) (1995)\nGyorgy Ligeti – Capriccio #2 (1947)\nCecil Taylor (trans. Kaja Draksler) – Life as….(1999)\nBéla Bartók – Improvisations op. 20 (1920) \n*denotes World Premiere \nSupported by the Department of Cultural Affairs\, City of Los Angeles; the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Arts and Culture.

Guitarist Robben Ford credits Kellaway and Tom Scott\, whom he met while playing for Joni Mitchell\, as major influences on his music.
