Miller Theater, New York, New York The Blue Rider in ConcertCo-produced with Works & Process at the Guggenheim, Mary Sharp Cronson, Producer,
in conjunction with the KANDINSKY retrospective at The Guggenheim Museum starting September 18th
The Blue Rider In Performance explores the dynamic interaction of music, light, and visual imagery using materials from Vasily Kandinsky's seminal Blue Rider Almanac of 1912. Rooted in Kandinsky's connections to artists in both Russia and Germany, the Blue Rider Almanac brought together art, music, and writing from avant-garde movements across Europe, capturing a short-lived moment of international experimentalism that was abruptly halted by the outbreak of World War I. Pianist Sarah Rothenberg and soprano Susan Narucki perform music from the era by such composers as Scriabin, Webern, and Berg under a rich blanket of light and projection; world premiere choreography by Karole Armitage further illuminates a movement from Arnold Schoenberg’s ground-breaking Second String Quartet. Also featuring The Brentano String Quartet.

A Celebration of Music on Main's 100th Concert Outdoors at the Roundhouse Community Arts Centre
Canadian premiere of Chance Encounter - with Soprano Susan Narucki and Music on Main All Star Band.
3:00 PM | Lisa Bielawa's Chance Encounter has captivated audiences in Manhattan parks, at New York's Whitney Museum, outside the Zaha Hadid-designed MAXII museum, on the banks of the Tiber River in Rome and in Venice. Hear the Canadian debut, outdoors at the Roundhouse.
Lisa writes that Chance Encounter "is designed so that it is not prescribed where and how the audience should or might sit to enjoy the music. The musicians are in two separate locations, approximately half a city block away from each other.
"They arrive one or two at a time, over the course of seven minutes, so that it is not clear exactly when the performance has officially begun. Similarly, at the end of the 35-minute piece, performers leave one or several at a time, so that when the piece is over, there are no musicians present.
"The soprano’s sung ‘libretto’ is comprised entirely of utterances that Susan and I overheard over the course of a full year of travel, in transient public spaces around the world – Rome, Taipei, Anchorage, Salzburg, Dallas and beyond."
For the Canadian debut, Grammy Award-winning soprano Susan Narucki is joined by the Music on Main All-Star Band, outdoors at the Roundhouse Community Arts Centre at 3:00 PM on Sunday, October 3, 2010.
