Works by Richard Teitelbaum, Kaija Saariaho, Matt Sargent, Jonah Knapp-Wilson ‘22, and Paula Matthusen
Music reflecting on the natural world, ranging from the field recordings of Richard Teitelbaum's “Threshold Music,” the pastoral reflections of Saariaho's cello opus, “Sept Papillons,” to the study of resonances heard within a New York City aqueduct system by Paula Matthusen in “Ontology of Echo,” these pieces reveal the potential for musicality surrounding the listener in daily life.Curated in conjunction with the Bard electronic music program, directed by Matt Sargent, many of the pieces feature live electronics, including a new work for ensemble and electronics by Jonah Knapp-Wilson (Bard '22).
Bard Conservatory events are now open to fully vaccinated members of the community.
