Description

Summoning the specters of musical forbears, and channeling the spirits of their successors, the 2007 New Music Seance Concerts featured five hours of hypnotic solo piano music performed by Sarah Cahill, or on the eerily disembodied Yamaha Disklavier, with additional spirit raising interludes by the Kate Stenberg and Eva-Maria Zimmerman violin-piano duo. The concerts were held in the intimate, candle lit setting of the historic Arts & Crafts styled Swedenborgian Church in San Francisco. The third concert entitled “Sleepwalker’s Shuffle”, includes the title piece by William Albright, as well as works by Robert Helps, Peggy Glanville-Hicks, Anton von Webern, Howard Skempton, Jonathan Russell, Frederic Rzewski, Conlon Nancarrow, Annea Lockwood, Morton Feldman, Ronald Bruce Smith, and George Antheil.
