Women in Parallel Empires (2021) - World Premiere Flutists Jane Rigler and Tessa Brinckman present the world premiere of their 22-minute acousmatic video, a "space opera," in posthumous collaboration with Cécile Chaminade's Sérénade aux étoiles (Serenade to the stars, 1911). Women in Parallel Empires explores how we might reclaim flute compositions by women composers dismissed from the Western canon, by re-assembling them within contemporary contexts, and addressing (and/or subverting) the concept of Empire, genius, and extraction in Western “art” music. A short pre-concert discussion, between Jane and Tessa about their collaboration, starts at 4:00 PM (Pacific time). [More]

Celebrating the recent release of their second and definitive duo recording, A Civil Right, Larry Ochs (saxophones) and Don Robinson (drums) hope for a live audience by the end of June, but will be happy to perform for you all no matter the situation. The Duo will perform pieces from the new CD, released on ESP-Disk' - the legendary free jazz label where Albert Ayler debuted in 1962. Alot has changed since 1962, but alot and perhaps "too much" remains virtually the same. So our "free jazz" music, while influenced by many musical discoveries and sociological developments that have become part of the firmament over the past 60 years, still celebrates and revels in the spirit of sixties free jazz.
