upcoming events: Brown New Music meets Brown Opera Productions
Brown New Music / Brown Opera Productions collaborative concert
Music meets Drama in works by John Cage, Eric Satie, and Meredith Monk
We'll be performing fully staged scens by Meredith Monk - Airport from Atlas, and Astronaut Anthem, with video by Kathryn Wallem and Jeff Wood. Sensing a theme? Me too. We'll have a fittingly airborne title soon. The feature of the concert will be a rare staging of Eric Satie's surrealist play La Piege de la Meduse, as revived by John Cage at Black Mountain College. Patrick Harrison will be directing, and Hannah Lewis, who has been researching the play for a thesis project, will serve as dramaturgue. This play involves a dancing monkey.

COBRA
by John Zorn
Zorn calls it a 'gamepiece.' Designed to harness the individual voices of improvising musicians, Cobra is an improvisational piece that works off of a game-structure of calls and commands that are transmitted among the musicians through a 'prompter'--a kind of conductor. In the words of Zorn, it is a musical 'psychodrama': performative, ecstatic, melancholic, different every time. And, there are guerillas.
