[CANCELED/STREAMING] Salt Itinerary | New Op-Era by the Miso Ensemble
Date:
Fri, 03/06/2020 - 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Location:
CCRMA Stage
Event Type:
Concert 
Salt Itinerary multimedia opera transcends theatrical and music conventions. A New form of Opera, Electroacoustic Theatre, Musical Theatre, Sound Poetry? Reflecting on Art and Madness, it revolves around languages, words as meaning and words as sound. Both are used as an extension of the body and melted in the construction of the staging as a tangible projection of the resonance of the words through sound and image. Live audio and video electronic processing and diffusion of the voice, poetry, gestures, music and the drawings creates a polyphony of senses and a counterpoint of meanings. Molding sounds, lights, pictures and movements as if being drawn, painted or carved, Salt Itinerary is a powerful, engaging and challenging combination of music and drama by one performer that shapes new grounds in electronic music and breaks boundaries between music, theatre, opera.

[CANCELED/STREAMING] Miguel Azguime: “New Op-Era” examples and their technological creation network
Date:
Thu, 03/05/2020 - 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Location:
CCRMA Stage
Event Type:
Guest Lecture 
In the last 15 years I have created several stage works involving a network of technological means as well as a network of artistic disciplines. I call this type of work New Op-Era, indeed born from the current electronic culture and being the expression of hybrid intertextuality. I’ll take as examples my works “Salt Itinerary” (2006) and “A Laugh to Cry” (2013) where we’ll find within the creative process a network of multiple “inputs” and “outputs”, and where representation and operability are integrated in a new kind of creative transversality of textuality.

Jonathan Berger Première
Congratulations to our very own Jonathan Berger for a terrific write-up of the première of a new piece!
"Classical musicians face enormous expectations when they play a standard repertory work. Listeners have strong feelings about favorite pieces, even when they are open to fresh interpretive approaches.
The stakes are even higher with a premiere. Performing a new piece becomes an act of advocacy to pull an audience in.
