PERFORMING ARTS
Baker and Baker Foundation Presents:
The Art of Music
Allos Musica Trio
Tuesday, October 18 | 7:00 pm
The Allos Musica Trio plays original
compositions, expert improvisations and
a hybrid of traditional and contemporary
Arabic music. The trio has performed
residencies and concerts throughout
Chicago and the Midwest and was the
Ensemble in Residence for the MOMENTA
Dance Company in November 2010.
“Though the Arabic influence is
unmistakable, the music’s emotional clarity
and lyrical grace is universal.”
-Chicago Reader Critic’s Choice
Doors open at 6 pm. $10/ $8 for
members.
Experimental Percussion with Greg
Stuart and Michael Pisaro
Tuesday, October 25 | 7:00 pm
Lisztomania
Sunday, November 13 | 3:00 pm
“The Ameri can composer Michael Pisaro
likes his music to develop as a slowmotion force, with adjustments of tone
and pitch and instrumentation so longbrewing that you lose your awareness of
the player’s hand and the composer’s will.
He’s into field recordings, sine waves and
percussion, unusually played. Per Mr.
Pisaro’s instructions the percussionist Greg
Stuart attacks metal by pinging, dropping,
bowing — generally anything but playing
with sticks or mallets.” - The New York
Times Doors open at 6 pm.
$10/ $8 for members.
The program features works by Franz
Liszt to celebrate the 200th anniversary of
his birth. Liszt’s compositions for piano
demonstrate remarkable ingenuity in terms
of form, sonic landscapes, and technical
requirements. This recital highlights a
variety of his works. Pianist Ryan Smith is
a South Carolina native, and he now makes
its capital city his home. He regularly
performs in a variety of settings, both as
a solo and collaborative pianist. Over the
past few years, he has appeared in recitals
at the Palmetto Theatre, Piccolo Spoleto
Festival, and Carnegie Hall, as well as
many venues across the Southeast.
$10/ $8 for members.
