MIT presents Contemporary Political Music from the Bush Years
Cambridge, MA — On Saturday, May 15 at 3 PM, in an MIT-sponsored free event at MIT's Killian Hall, American composers David T. Little and Curtis K. Hughes present a concert of their recent work in collaboration with Boston's acclaimed Callithumpian Consort and other musicians. The program features ensemble pieces by both composers, including Little's BMI award-winning, Orwell-inspired "hope in the proles," (2002) and Hughes' "National Insecurity," written in 2002 during the buildup to the current United States involvement in Iraq, as well as other recent chamber works. The concert will be followed by a reception, and both composers will be present to discuss their work.

Admission: 8 Euro
The KAIROS String Quartet of Berlin plays:
Julio ESTRADA: yuunohui'talpoa
Giorgio NETTI: ) place (
Georg Friedrich HAAS: 2nd String Quartet
They seem to hold the middle between exotic jungle sounds and electronic scratches and hissees, but in reality all sounds in Giorgio Netti's )place( are produced by an authentic string quartet without further manipulation of the sound - save for the presence of plastic telephone cards between the strings. This "broadened bridge" makes for a huge palette of tones and noises, which the players have to learn to control just as exactly as the conventional quartet sound in Beethoven.
Kairos is also playing work by Julio Estrada, successor of Iannis Xenakis at CEMAMu, and by the Austrian spectral composer Georg Friedrich Haas. Three subtle sound worlds by composers that are not heard enough in the Netherlands."

pre-concert talk hosted by Gavin Borchert, 6:15 PM
Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya Hall, Third and Union, Seattle
Individual tickets: $20 regular /$18 seniors/$12 students
For tickets and further concert information: call 206-286-5052 or visit
www.seattlechamberplayers.org
The Seattle Chamber Players are proud to present DJ SPOOKY (composer/conceptual artist Paul D. Miller). On the program will be a performance of the Rebirth Suite, music from Rebirth of a Nation, Miller’s forthcoming multimedia work based on the historic D.W. Griffith film Birth of a Nation (which will be receiving its premiere later this summer at the Spoleto Festival). SCP has collaborated with Miller on this project by recording the composer’s original music, which will be heard both live and “processed” in the performance on May 2.
Also on the program will be performances by DJ Spooky in solo interpretations of the films The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord and Meditation on Violence, a 1948 classic by the first giant of American experimental filmmaking, Maya Deren.
Additionally, SCP will give the world premiere of Seth Krimsky’s House of Mirrors. The composer describes the work, scored for flute, clarinet, bassoon, percussion, violin, cello and contrabass, as “equal parts late German expressionist and 1980’s ECM jazz.”"
