eaResolution - A Presentation of MicroFest and Accordant Commons
Accordant Commons, a vocal chamber music collective, presents a concert of microtonal vocal chamber music. We are drawn to chamber music, as it explores the interaction between voices and instruments. For this concert, we explore the variation between tactile and sensory approaches in exploring micro-intervals. These pieces create a continuum of microtonality, from the finely dissonant to the justly placed. The program will include:
Kurt Isaacson's the day won't reconcile its recessive light: a perimeter's bleed for Mezzo-soprano, viola, and cello
John Fonville's Songs from Sappho on Ancient Greek Modes for viola and voice
John Fonville's The Night Dances for soprano, alto flute, and bass
Edu Haubensak's Sechs Walserminiaturen for soprano and violin
and John Fonville's Study of Held Just Partials
Featuring:
Stephanie Aston, soprano
Argenta Walther, mezzo-soprano
Scott Worthington, double bass
Eric KM Clark, violin
Derek Stein, cello
Christine Tavolacci, alto flute
David Tranchina, double bass
Natalie Brejcha, violin
Now in its seventeenth year of celebrating the beauty that lies "between the notes," MicroFest is the worldʼs leading concert series devoted to the glorious universe of non-standard tunings. Founded by microtonal guitarist and radio personality John Schneider in 1997, MicroFest has grown to a festival of multiple events at Southern California venues ranging from Pacific Palisades to Claremont; Pasadena to Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA. MicroFest has included ground-breaking concerts and premieres of works by Ben Johnston, Lou Harrison, Terry Riley, and Harry Partch with new and historical instruments. MicroFest is co-directed by composer Bill Alves and pianist Aron Kallay.
