FREEOpen to the PublicGradients of Control | Robert Fleitz Piano Recital
Date:Wed, 01/08/2025 - 7:30pm - 9:00pmLocation:CCRMA StageEvent Type:ConcertThe relationship between composer, performer, audience, and score is a delicate and malleable web—not only in these agents' realities, but in the perceptions that are placed on each of them by the other. These imagines versions, shaped by tradition and context, blur the boundaries between intention and interpretation. In this recital, the solo piano becomes a focal point for exploring how composers and performers negotiate control over musical materials. The scores on this program move from improvisation, to control, and back again; questioning what it means to have "freedom" in a work of composed music, and inviting the listener to examine their own role in the process of meaning- and memory-making.
The program features works by Camila Agosto, Manaka Kataoka, Linda Leimane, Rytis Mažulis, Jeffrey Mumford, Lou Sheppard, Julie Zhu and Raimonda Žiūkaitė
