DiMenna Center for Classical Music: Purchase Tickets Here

Kettle Corn New Music returns with its first in-person concert in over two years for a show celebrating New York City. Featuring mezzo-soprano Annie Rosen, Merz Trio players—Lee Dionne, Brigid Coleridge and Julia Yang—plus Lun Li on violin, Jordan Bak on viola, Sam Suggs on double bass, and Yasmina Spiegelberg on clarinet, the centerpiece of the concert will be a premiere of Kettle Corn New Music co-founder and artistic director Alex Weiser’s Coney Island Days, a new song cycle setting to music the words of the composer’s late grandmother reflecting on her childhood in the 1930s in the home of Yiddish speaking immigrants in New York. Paired with this work is Weiser’s recent in a dark blue night which sets music Yiddish language poetry from the late 1800s and early 1900s reflecting on New York City at night through the eyes of immigrant Jewish poets. Rounding out the program are a series of other works which explore New York City: Steve Reich’s New York Counterpoint performed by Yasmina Spiegelberg, John Musto’s setting of Walt Whitman’s Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, Christopher Cerrone’s That Night with the Green Sky, Meredith Monk’s Ellis Island, and more.

Paul Kerekes: Vantages (June 24, 2022, 7pm)

Facebook & YouTube Concert

Composer-Pianist Paul Kerekes performs his work vantages, a collection of piano pieces inspired by the poetry of Mark Strand. The performance will feature premieres of two new movements, alongside the original three, as well as readings of the poems each movement is based upon. The listener will experience a sampling of characters and situations, almost like “flash fiction” at times, that deal with isolation, anxiety, and self-purpose with a sharp and wry sense of humor that embraces the surreal.
