Errollyn Wallen, António Pinho Vargas, & Mary Ellen Childs (l to r), during their retreat at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program in Woodside CA, prior to their appearance at the 5th Other Minds Music Festival in March of 1999. Errollyn Wallen has composed extensively for chamber media, including piano solo and duet, string quartet and various mixed ensembles, often with voice. In between her work on classical composition, Wallen began in 1988 writing pop/jazz songs for a change of pace. António Pinho Vargas was born in Vila Nova Gaia, Portugal, across the river from Oporto, in 1951. In 1974, he began to play jazz piano, and with his band he performed throughout Europe and the United States, with additional performances in South Africa and Macao. Pinho Vargas has composed for theater, dance, and film. Mary Ellen Childs is a composer for whom the creation of music involves more than the notation of symbols on a page. She is involved in the creative process from conception through composition through staging, often working much like a stage director or choreographer as well as a composer to create musical pieces that incorporate visual media. She has created numerous "visual percussion" pieces for her company CRASH, a vibrant and energizing ensemble that embodies the concept of music in motion.Genres & Subjects
