Two works by celebrated composer and Bang On A Can clarinetist Evan Ziporyn bring a cross-cultural perspective to the evocation of the natural world through music: Fragrant Forest from the Balinese-inspired Pondok suite for solo piano, and the brand-new virtuoso flute solo Speak At-man! meant to evoke the Hindu universal consciousness ‘atman’. Rounding out the program is Charles Amirkhanian’s raucous text-sound composition Church Car and Alvin Lucier’s meditative Silver Streetcar for the Orchestra for solo percussion.
