Slee Sinfonietta to Play Buffalo Composers

  

The Slee Sinfonietta will be performing a potpourri of short solo works honoring composers associated with the city of Buffalo on Wednesday, March 4^th at 7:30PM. This unique concert will feature faculty and student performers from Music Department at UB. The concert will feature a wide array of soloists: hornist Ariel Arney, violist Leanne Darling, cellist and artistic director of the Sinfonietta Jonathan Golove, oboeist Megan Kyle, soprano Tiffany Du Mouchelle, guitarist Sungmin Shin, percussionist Steve Solook, and violinist Melissa White.

Readers of the blog who attended the Morton Feldman @100 festival will be delighted to know that this concert will feature rarely performed shorter works of the venerated composer, including two pieces which each clock in at only one-and-a-half minutes! Rarely will you hear the composer in a more distilled fashion! 

 

Morton Feldman at UB with Creative Associates: Julius Eastman, Jan Williams, William Appleby, David Del Tredici. 1972.

A work of Paul Hindemith will be making an appearance, as the composer did himself at UB at Cameron Baird’s request in 1940. Former faculty composers David Felder and Jeffery Stadelman will also be featured, neither strangers to Slee Hall. Bringing the concert into the Buffalo of today are works by guitarist Sungmin Shin, violist Leanne Darling, and PhD student Jackson Roush. Along with being accomplished composers in their own right, Shin and Darling are also beloved professors in the Music Department. Please join us for this delightful concert!
