Whistler Sisters

Whistler Sisters

Umberto Dinklaker’s tone poem “El Erizo Angustiado—or The Anguished Hedgehog—calls for an unusually large battery of percussion instruments. The “hedgehog in estrus” motif, for example, is played by a quartet of Acme Siren Whistles. Professional Acme Siren Whistlers are rare enough, so to find four of them at one time can be quite the challenge. Luckily, the Fabulous McGillicuddy Sisters answered their inner musical callings by majoring in siren whistles at the Pringler Academy of Music and Liniments. Although they were certainly com-petent, the sisters were not what one might term virtuosi. When they played in unison, for example, they often encroached into the domain of parallel seconds. Happily, this was just what El Erizo Angustiado needed to set it apart from other hedgehog-themed compositions of the day!

REVIEW: Strings Ahoy

Composer's Voice
Sunday, January 26, 2014
Reviewed by Jack Crager

After recent experiments with offbeat performance devices — such as long hollow tubes, ambient electronic noise and sign-language interpretations of cellphone rants (see Hard Eight review)— the Composer’s Voice Concert Series returns to a tried-and-true combo on January 26: chamber music with modern dance.

Not that the show lacks adventure. With several numbers featuring violin and viola, and others incorporating lively choreography, this “Dance Extravaganza” set has a continuity that accents the variations between individual pieces. (And as something of a prelude to the Composers Voice show the following evening at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, this matinee concert features some of the same performers and composers as that Carnegie show.)

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with andPlay

Setting the tone Sunday is the CV’s trademark feature, “15 Minutes of Fame,” curated and performed by andPlay, with Maya Bennardo on violin and Hannah Levinson on viola. The crisp performance emphasizes tight instrumental interplay and harmonic contrasts, from the melodic forays of Michael Maiorana’s Autumn Fields to the staccato dancing lines of Ricardo Silva’s O2. Later the set shifts from swooping glissandos in Iain Matheson’s ViolinViola to squeaky moans in Rachel Graff’s “Fluctuations” to plucked counter-melodies of Mike Perdue’s “being lost for a minute is not necessarily terrible.” Nor is, for that matter, being led through a sonic labyrinth for 15 minutes!

Conway Kuo and Pace Short

The first dance piece, “She Walks in (burdened) Beauty,” features Pace Short performing choreography by Erin Bomboy, accompanying music, "Slon-he" by Alex Kruchoski, played by Conway Kuo on viola. This suite seems a miniature life cycle, with its meditative opening morphing into a lively musical segment with Short dancing like a whirling dervish. Then a contemplative, almost melancholy section closes the piece with a graceful bowing out.

Andrea Skull, Jessica Mego, and Stine Moen

This leads to the aptly titled “Blue,” an abstraction between a composition by Julius Bucsis and the “dance improvisations” of Andrea Skull, Jessica Mego, and Stine Moen. Here the music consists of a single, chiming electronic chord lasting more than three minutes, which continually evolves in color and shape as its notes are restacked within the composite. Meanwhile two dancers carefully hoist and hand each other to one other — an exercise of strength and control that has you both marveling at the upper-body prowess of these performers and hoping one doesn’t fall and break her neck. (None do.)

Andrea Skull, Jessica Mego, and Stine Moen

Then its back to the chamber setting, with Douglas DaSilva’s “He Stood Before Me,” featuring Diego Vasquez on clarinet and Adrianna Matteo on violin. The two instruments trade motifs, weaving among each other and alternating between dissonance and harmony, while Callie Hatchett’s choreography plays three dancers off each other in a blend of unison and solo movements, like a shifting dialog. The dancers — Stanton Jacinto, Lee Katherine Fink, and Allison Schieler — close out the piece with a silent, ambivalent flourish.

The next piece, “coyote craze" by Vivian Li, is performed on viola by Conway Kuo and features the self-choreography of dancers Andrea Skurr, Jessica Mego, and Stine Moen. The vigorous score, both percussive and mellifluous, sounds like it could be played on piano but breathes and resonates on viola, while the dancing is energetic and tightly synched.

Adrianna Matteo

Closing out the concert is violinist Adrianna Matteo playing the work of the late, great New York composer Douglas Townsend. First Matteo plays the short but powerful “Violin Solo from Chamber Concerto No. 1.” Then she is joined by dancers Stanton Jacinto, Lee Katherine Fink, Allison Schieler, and Ali Berg Nicola — performing choreography by Callie Hatchett — for Townsend’s “Air (from Suite No 1 for Strings).” The four skirted dancers start with a silent, springlike whirling segment, soon joined by the music’s yearning, classical-sounding melody for a couple of minutes before closing the set with smooth, fluid final bows. With its interplay between traditional chamber instruments and experimental song-and-dance ideas, this show gets the 2014 Composers Voice Sunday Series off to a strong start — and lays the groundwork for the following night’s grand festivities at Carnegie Hall.
