About Krai About Olga Bell Tuesday, June 23 at 8:30pm at Pier 15 ABOUT KRAI Co-presented by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and New Amsterdam Presents as part of the River To River Festival 2015. Krai (край) is the Russian word for edge, limit, frontier or hinterland. Present-day Russia is divided into a myriad of ‘federal subjects’, including nine krais. In this capacity the term is a political designation, like ‘territory’, but for the earliest Russians these places represented both the promise and terror of the vast unknown. While much has been written about Russia’s major cities, Olga Bell’s Krai is a composition dedicated to the rest of the map: the wilderness, the towns, the inhabitants and their stories. From the Cossack melodies of Krasnodar Krai in the West to the Chukchi drumming of Kamchatka Krai in the Russian Far East, Krai is a forty-minute journey across the Eurasian landmass. The live incarnation of Krai features Olga plus five vocalists singing entirely in Russian, supported by a electro-acoustic chamber ensemble of cello, electric guitar, bass, pitched drums, mallet percussion and electronics. The setting for this performance of Krai is Pier 15, where a video installation showing real and imagined landscapes from each territory completes a unique and immersive experience of Olga Bell’s groundbreaking, cross-cultural work. ABOUT OLGA BELL Born in Moscow and raised in Alaska, Olga Bell is a New York-based composer, producer and performer of intrepid, aurally omnivorous music. While much has been written about Russia’s major cities, she’s concerned with the rest of the map: the wilderness, the towns, the inhabitants and their stories. Bell’s performances include the Meltdown Festival at Southbank Centre, London (2014) and Krai (World Premiere) Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2014). She has also performed with the Dirty Projectors ,Carnegie Hall, New York (2013). She is a recipient of a Jerome Foundation JFund Grant (2011). Her residencies include the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Liquid Music series, McGuire Theater, Walker Art Center (2014) and the Butler University/ National Science Foundation, Indianapolis, IN (2014-2015). She received a B.M. from the New England Conservatory. PROJECT SUPPORT Support for Krai is provided in part by Rooftop Films. PERFORMERS KRAI’S (Край) MOVEMENTS Olga Bell 1.

Saminksy’s teachers at the St. Petersburg conservatory included Rimsky-Korsakov and Liadov. Fascinated with Jewish culture, Saminsky went on trips to Southern Russia and Georgia to gather Jewish folk music and ancient religious chants. In the 1910s Saminsky spent a substantial amount of time travelling giving lectures and conducting concerts. Saminsky’s travels brought him to Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Paris, and England.

  • NOW... Imports a Catchy Inflection to Classical Forms
    "NOW... imports a catchy inflection to classical forms... Striking a balance between the old and the new has rarely sounded this good." Seth Colter Walls, Newsweek “...the formal elegance of chamber music with a pop-honed concision and rhythmic vitality." Steve Smith, Time Out New York "The vibrant sound of NOW Ensemble... does something more than offer composers an alternative to the ubiquitous 'Pierrot ensembles plus singer or percussion.' It breathes the air of this planet: the musical air of indie rock, rap, jazz, pop, and minimalism variously synthesized by classically-trained composers and instrumentalists. Three of NOW's founding members are composers, and a community of...like-minded others have responded to the opportunities NOW embodies: to defy specialization, reject alienation, and inspire deft musicians to convey a sense of private amusement that enlivens the music they perform." Jeffrey Edelstein, International Concert Review Press Rodney Lister, Sequenza21.com "As to the performances, to say that they were completely masterly (and, in some cases masterful) technically and wonderfully powerful and expressive would be to slander them by using faint praise. It was the kind of playing which was so concentrated and focused that it could melt through steel." Rebecca Epstein, LA City Beat "NOW Ensemble...works experimental, chamber-music miracles with its wide array of instruments and fertile relationship with emerging composers." Steve Smith, The New York Times "NOW Ensemble offered highly attractive, unabashedly rock-influenced
