When in Rome Nov. 10-11; 17-19, 2006, Studio Z Come for the music, stay for the cannoli! Throughout this past millennium, Italy has played a major role in shaping the course of western music. This concert celebrates this contribution by featuring Italian composers and American composers heavily influenced by experiences in Italy. We’ll be including works from the serial lyricism of Dallapiccola to the exuberant electronica of the youthful Mason Bates, from the ethereal soundscapes of Salvatore Sciarrinno to Luciano Berio’s tour de force, Linnea. Zeitgeist is joined by special guests Jane Garvin, flute, Jim Jacobson, cello, Stephen Self, piano & Eric Peterson, viola.
