Summer Contemporary Music Festival and Upcoming Performance

Submitted by sarah.carrier on Fri, 05/28/2010 - 08:44

I feel fortunate to be chosen to participate in the Institute & Festival for Contemporary Performance at Mannes, which takes place June 14-23.  This festival is dedicated to training young musicians in contemporary music, and presenting performances by these musicians to the NYC public.  The IFCP festival is directed by Marc Ponthus, with Elliott Carter and Pierre Boulez as Honorary Advisors.  My former teacher, Robert Dick, is a guest artist this year and will perform on June 17th 8 p.m. at Mannes.  Anyone who has preconceived notions about the flute must see this performance!  This is a flutist who literally wrote the book on contemporary flute techniques, is a prolific composer, and is an inventor of the Glissando Headjoint.  Go to http://www.robertdick.net/ to learn more about this phenomenal musician. 

As part of the festival, I will be performing at Le Poisson Rouge on June 20th at 6:30 pm with IFCP Guest Artists-TimeTable Percussion.  http://www.timetablepercussion.com/  We are perfoming the U.S. premier of Móvil I for flute and percussion trio by José-Luis Hurtado.  I am thrilled to perform with such great musicians at an amazing venue for new music!
