2019/20 SEASON Welcome to Our 53Rd Season! I Often Say That We Strive to Provide a Platform for Artists to Do Their Best, Most Expressive Work 2019/20 SEASON Welcome to our 53rd season! I often say that we strive to provide a platform for artists to do their best, most expressive work. And in 2019/20, they’ll do precisely that: their imagination and moxie burst forth from each page in this brochure. Some—like the String Queens, our Mars Arts D.C. Ensemble-in-Residence—reside right here in our community. Others bring inspiration from beyond the reach of our imaginations: NASA-sourced sounds and visuals shape Terry Riley’s epic Sun Rings for Kronos Quartet; and To Shiver the Sky, Christopher Tin’s majestic exploration of space—in oratorio form—features the powerhouse combination of the United States Air Force Band and Choral Arts in a free world premiere in our debut presentation at The Anthem. The power of the arts to connect people across geography and cultures is on full display this season. Four continents are represented, including orchestras from Budapest, Taipei, Melbourne, London, and Philadelphia. Intimate programs will feature Amjad Ali Khan, Kinan Azmeh’s CityBand, and the West-Eastern Divan Ensemble. In our jazz programming, cultural exchange comes by way of Danilo Pérez and his Global Messengers, Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and Chilean-born saxophonist Melissa Aldana. The SHIFT Festival returns to shine a spotlight on the collaborative spirit and ingenuity of American orchestras, along with inspired choices of partners such as the Classical Theatre of Harlem, members of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, and Knoxville’s poet laureate! Our resident Men, Women, and Children of the Gospel Choirs hold forth with featured performances and also host the Kingdom Choir from the U.K. And we embrace the powerful intersection of art and social change in several events, including a performance by street- dance innovators Lil Buck and Jon Boogz. And, of course, we join in the worldwide celebration of QUICK Beethoven 250th birthday, with immersive performances by friends who have made Beethoven’s music a touchstone of START their life’s work: Emanuel Ax, Midori, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Anne-Sophie Mutter, and Igor Levit. Our classical offerings also include the eagerly awaited return of pianist Daniil Trifonov and a cornerstone of our own programming, the Subscription Plans....................... 4 career-launching Hayes Piano Series. “Friends” donor program Please consider this brochure but one portal to explore!

    EMAIL INTERVIEW with Pachi Tapiz, Spanish Music Critic December 2009 to February 2010. Published in Spanish by Tomajazz in June 2010 http://www.tomajazz.com/perfiles/ochs_larry_2010.html Q1: Why did Rova decide to join its creative forces with Nels Cline Singers? Ochs: Rova has employed all these guys over the past 12 years or so in different bands. Scott Amendola and I work together in Larry Ochs Sax & Drumming Core as well as in a new band called Kihnoua featuring the great vocals of Korean‐born Dohee Lee. (That band plays in Europe very soon, but unfortunately nothing in Spain. I thought “maybe” some place there would hire this band after all the news / nonsense in December, but no one called me except journalists. No, I was not surprised that no one called. But I do feel strongly that Kihnoua is a great band, but I would agree with those on the other side; it is not a jazz band. Jazz influenced? Definitely; jazz band? No. I will send you the just released CD in early May when I return from the tour.) Sorry for the digression: So Scott performed first with Rova in a big piece of mine in 1998 called “Pleistocene: The Ice Age.” (as well as Adams’ and Raskin pieces that same evening.) And he worked in Vancouver with us on Electric Ascension in 2005 along with Devin Hoff and Nels, of course. Nels recorded Electric Ascension with us live in 2003, played on every performance of that “event” until 2009, and he is “the man” in free jazz when it comes to playing updated versions of late‐period Coltrane on guitar.

She has been acclaimed for her “remarkable technical command” and “a gift for melodic flow” by The New York Times. The Washington Post praises “Lin’s confident fingers… spectacular technique… “, “…surely one of the most interesting pianists in America right now…” and Gramophone Magazine has hailed her as “an exceptionally sensitive pianist”. Her orchestral engagements have included the American Symphony Orchestra, NDR and SWR German Radio orchestras, and Orchestra Sinfonica Nationale della RAI. Her concerts have taken her to Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Kennedy Center, MoMA, Stanford LIVE, and National Gallery of Art, appearing at Festivals such as Mostly Mozart, BAM’s Next Wave, Spoleto/USA, Kings Place London, Chopin Festival Austria, and Schleswig-Holstein Festival Germany.

Expect nothing less than magic from these three avant purveyors." –The Village Voice Creative artists aren’t subject to state persecution in the United States, but indifference can exact its own cost, just as generous support can pay steep dividends. Convallaria, the startlingly beautiful new Cuneiform album by the collective trio Thumbscrew, offers an all- too-rare case study in the power of underwritten sequestration. Featuring veteran bass master Michael Formanek, protean guitarist Mary Halvorson, and indefatigably resourceful drummer Tomas Fujiwara, Thumbscrew spent two weeks honing the tunes on Convallaria at City of Asylum, an artist residency program in Pittsburgh originally launched as a refuge for writers in exile. In recent years City of Asylum has expanded its purview to include musicians, establishing the BNY Mellon Jazz Residency that in June/July 2015 hosted Thumbscrew. For Thumbscrew, the opportunity for intensive, undistracted collaboration yielded a particularly striking body of music, even by the standards of these prodigious players. Already closely bonded by extensive collaborations in a variety of overlapping ensembles, the powerhouse triumvirate got to spend the kind of concentrated time together that’s “almost unheard of these days,” says Formanek.
