PRESSEMITTEILUNG 20.06.2018 My Brightest Diamond Kommt Für Drei FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 20.06.2018 My Brightest Diamond kommt für drei exklusive Konzerte nach Deutschland My Brightest Diamond ist das musikalische Projekt von Shara Nova. In vielfach wechselnden Besetzungen lotet die Sängerin, Songwriterin und Multiinstrumentalistin die tiefe Beziehung zwischen Kammermusik und Rock, zwischen Avantgarde und elektronischer Musik aus. Schon in jungen Jahren nimmt sie Klavierunterricht und singt im Kirchenchor, sie spielt in Musicals mit und in Bands. Stets wechselt sie zwischen klassischer Musik – die sie an der University Of North Texas studiert – und den Clubs von New York. Oder um es konkreter zu machen: In einem Monat sang sie den Sopran in Henryk Góreckis 3. Sinfonie aus dem Jahr 1976, dirigierte beim Sundance Filmfestival eine Marching Band durch die Straßen, war Frontfrau einer Rockband und trat in einer selbst komponierten Barockoper auf. Sie lieh Aufnahmen von David Byrne, Laurie Anderson, The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, Jedi Mind Tricks, Fat Boy Slim oder The Blind Boys of Alabama ihre Stimme. Bei My Brightest Diamond verbindet sie das zu einem elektrisierenden Gemisch, in dem sie all ihre Talente in die Waagschale wirft und etwas vollständig Neues erschafft. Manchmal geht es dabei fast konventionell zu wie bei der jüngsten Veröffentlichung, der „Champgane“-EP, deren Titel-Track in jedem Club der Welt als Floorfiller durchgehen würde. Manchmal wird es experimentell, aber niemals schwierig oder abgehoben. Später im Jahr soll mit „A Million And One“ eine weitere Veröffentlichung folgen. Mit den Songs der Platte ist sie bereits auf Tour gewesen – um sie zu testen, wie sie selbst sagt. Natürlich wird Shara Nova a.k.a. My Brightest Diamond ihre neue Musik auch bei uns live präsentieren: Im November kommt sie mit ihrer Band für drei exklusive Konzerte nach Deutschland. 16.11.2018 Hamburg - Kampnagel K6 17.11.2018 Berlin - Frannz Club 18.11.2018 Köln - Artheater Tickets für die Shows gibt es ab Freitag, den 22. Juni, 10 Uhr ab 18,00 Euro zzgl.

    In collaboration with The American Choral Directors Association Presents SING FOR JUSTICE, MICHIGAN! An interdisciplinary event that calls for musicians artists and scholars to consider their role as ambassadors for change With performances and special guests: Stacey Gibbs, guest conductor ​ Shara Nova, presenter ​ Detroit Women’s Choir, Arianne Abela ​ EMU Choral Ensembles, Brandon Johnson, Liza Calisesi Maidens, & Aaron Pollard ​ MSU Youth Chamber Choir, Kyle Zeuch ​ Oakland University Choral, Mike Mitchell ​ Student & Faculty Panel, Harry Bhogal ​ Peter Higgins, Women’s and Gender Studies Department ​ Michael Doan, Philosophy Department ​ Mary Larkin, LGBT Resource Center ​ Candice Crutcher, Nat’l Assoc. for the Advancement of Colored People & ​ Director of Political Action for SGA Amy Johnson, Communications, Media & Theatre Arts ​ Friday, November 10, 2017 Pease Auditorium Welcome! The Eastern Michigan University Choral Department and the Michigan American Choral Directors Association are so pleased to welcome you to Sing for Justice, Michigan! Music has always been way for people to express themselves and the call for justice is not new to our age. We each understand that the arts have a role to play, and that is why we are here. To understand and to maximize that role is critical to the artist and we are here to discuss the intersection of arts and justice issues. While we have differences among us, the arts can be a common ground for people of myriad backgrounds, whether those variations be political, religious, cultural, or otherwise. Today we celebrate these differences and we gather to examine how we can help inspire others to celebrate them, as well. EMU and ACDA-MI are thrilled to host renowned composer and arranger Stacey Gibbs, singer-songwriter Shara Nova from the band My Brightest Diamond, and a variety of other presenters and performing ensembles as they seek to find ways to use the arts for justice issues.

  • A Scene Without a Name: Indie Classical and American New Music in the Twenty-First Century
    A SCENE WITHOUT A NAME: INDIE CLASSICAL AND AMERICAN NEW MUSIC IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY William Robin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Mark Katz Andrea Bohlman Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Benjamin Piekut © 2016 William Robin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT WILLIAM ROBIN: A Scene Without a Name: Indie Classical and American New Music in the Twenty-First Century (Under the direction of Mark Katz) This dissertation represents the first study of indie classical, a significant subset of new music in the twenty-first century United States. The definition of “indie classical” has been a point of controversy among musicians: I thus examine the phrase in its multiplicity, providing a framework to understand its many meanings and practices. Indie classical offers a lens through which to study the social: the web of relations through which new music is structured, comprised in a heterogeneous array of actors, from composers and performers to journalists and publicists to blog posts and music venues. This study reveals the mechanisms through which a musical movement establishes itself in American cultural life; demonstrates how intermediaries such as performers, administrators, critics, and publicists fundamentally shape artistic discourses; and offers a model for analyzing institutional identity and understanding the essential role of institutions in new music. Three chapters each consider indie classical through a different set of practices: as a young generation of musicians that constructed itself in shared institutional backgrounds and performative acts of grouping; as an identity for New Amsterdam Records that powerfully shaped the record label’s music and its dissemination; and as a collaboration between the ensemble yMusic and Duke University that sheds light on the twenty-first century status of the new-music ensemble and the composition PhD program.

With an unorthodox instrumentation of violins (Maxim Moston, Ben Lively and Andie Springer), bass clarinet (Peter Hess), and electric guitar and electronics (Stephen Griesgraber), Redhooker’s 2010 release, Vespers, found the group incorporating extended ambient improvisation with their concise, minimalist compositions.

Most recently, Redhooker contributed music to the feature film Vidal Sassoon: The Movie. They will begin work on their third album in 2012.
