Description

The 1987 New Music America Festival was held in Philadelphia during the first two weeks in October. Produced by the local ensemble Relâche, this 10 day extravaganza of adventurous musical programing featured over 20 concerts, lectures, and sound installations.

The Festival’s fourteenth concert featured works by Invite the Spirit (Henry Kaiser, Charles K. Noyes, and Sang-Won Park), Geri Allen, and Borbetomagus.

This performance is the last of three piano solos by Geri Allen.

This concert was held at the Port of History Museum, on October 9, 1987. The recording was provided to Other Minds by Joseph Franklin who directed the 1987 New Music America Festival, and Werner Strobel who digitized the original tape recordings.
