By Margaret Wappler, Los Angeles Times September 14, 2011 Los Angeles is teeming with places to perform if advertisement you're a rock band stoking dreams of becoming the next Arcade Fire, but what about a classically trained string quartet, one that can play with party guru Andrew WK or the National's stormy rock? The art world, ready to foster the kind of cross-pollination that sparked between Merce Cunningham and John Cage, is ready to receive you with open arms. It's a good thing, too, in a city where genre-jumping musicians have few mid-level-sized homes. Either play in the splendor of Walt Disney Concert Hall or the tiny confines of the Smell or Pehrspace. Or, in the case of local heroes Calder Quartet, talk to Tim Blum, co-owner of Culver City's prestigious Blum & Poe gallery. On Wednesday, the Calder Quartet will perform, followed by a piano set from their mentor Terry Riley, at an event designed to raise money for the group to commission new pieces. Hosted in Blum & Poe's new space partially conceived for interdisciplinary works, it's the kind of show that feels auspicious for its connective tissue between the art world and classical music that expands tradition to incorporate forays into rock, jazz, Indian raga or whatever catches the roaming ear.

As MATA nears completion of its 13th year of concerts, commissions, installations, panels and collaborations, we continue to be motivated by the same things that inspired Philip Glass, Eleonor Sandresky and Lisa Bielawa at the first MATA concerts in 1997. Each year, the body of work that we and our panel of established peers encounter in the Call For Submissions (including well over 400 composers at this point!) is full of surprising and innovative music by artists who are sure to be leaders in the field in the decades to come. We draw inspiration from their ingenuity and energy during the selection process and throughout the year. 2010 brings many firsts to the MATA Festival, including the American debut of Italian new music ensemble L’arsenale, a group making waves all over Italy, and the Festival debut of the Calder Quartet, Ensemble Pamplemousse, and New York’s venerable new music ensemble, Argento.
