Eric Glick Rieman, Piano and Chamber Music - 9pm
In my brain I'm a pianist, first and foremost. Although I often perform on prepared Rhodes electric piano, I spend a good amount of my time scheming about how to compose piano music and playing the piano. So I wanted to put together a performance that would feature some of this composed work. "Knitting" (2012 - 2013) is a notated work, a work loosely based on the process of knitting - echoing its repetition and complexity of patterns. It revolves around the piano, and in this chamber rendition of the piece that pianist is the indefatigable Brett Carson (http://brettcarson.weebly.com), surrounded by a chamber ensemble of willing knitters.
Portions of my piano suite "Thy Devil's Waistcoat"(2013-14) will also be performed at this show by the vibrant pianist Julie Moon, notably, "The Questioning Resolve of Those Who Need To Move Forward Proves Successful."
The Knitting Ensemble is comprised of: Brett Carson: piano, Masha Albrecht: violin, Joshua Marshall: saxophones, Jakob Pek: electric guitar and percussion, Scott Siler: vibraphone and percussion, Peter Sloan: trombonehttp://www.facebook.com/events/1469723429930753/

Tuesday, April 1, 2014 5:00 and 6:30 pm. Performing in "Beams", a collaboration between Alvin Curran and Molissa Fenley. Mills College Art Museum, 5000 Macarthur Blvd. , Oakland, California 94704 , USA. BEAMS is a structured improvisation piece composed by Alvin Curran for upwards of 15 musicians playing primarily acoustic instruments and objects. For this particular performance at the Mills College Art Museum, Curran wrote a series of instructions to be interpreted by his musicians and sent those to choreographer Molissa Fenley. Fenley, in turn, reconfigured the musical instructions into a dance language that could be interpreted by her dancers. This new collaboration between Fenley and Curran introduces a new and exciting layer to Curran's original piece and also to both artists’ well-established creative processes.

Eric Glick Rieman, Piano and Chamber Music - 9pm
In my brain I'm a pianist, first and foremost. Although I often perform on prepared Rhodes electric piano, I spend a good amount of my time scheming about how to compose piano music and playing the piano. So I wanted to put together a performance that would feature some of this composed work. "Knitting" (2012 - 2013) is a notated work, a work loosely based on the process of knitting - echoing its repetition and complexity of patterns. It revolves around the piano, and in this chamber rendition of the piece that pianist is the indefatigable Brett Carson (http://brettcarson.weebly.com), surrounded by a chamber ensemble of willing knitters.
Portions of my piano suite "Thy Devil's Waistcoat"(2013-14) will also be performed at this show by the vibrant pianist Julie Moon, notably, "The Questioning Resolve of Those Who Need To Move Forward Proves Successful."
The Knitting Ensemble is comprised of: Brett Carson: piano, Masha Albrecht: violin, Joshua Marshall: saxophones, Jakob Pek: electric guitar and percussion, Scott Siler: vibraphone and percussion, Peter Sloan: trombonehttp://www.facebook.com/events/1469723429930753/

Mills College Art Museum, 5000 Macarthur Blvd. , Oakland, California 94704 , USA. BEAMS is a structured improvisation piece composed by Alvin Curran for upwards of 15 musicians playing primarily acoustic instruments and objects. For this particular performance at the Mills College Art Museum, Curran wrote a series of instructions to be interpreted by his musicians and sent those to choreographer Molissa Fenley. Fenley, in turn, reconfigured the musical instructions into a dance language that could be interpreted by her dancers. This new collaboration between Fenley and Curran introduces a new and exciting layer to Curran's original piece and also to both artists’ well-established creative processes.
