"Revered like rock stars within the early music scene" (New York Times).

Featured at concert series from coast to coast, the ensemble's performances have been described glowingly: "Quicksilver does nothing by halves...enchantingly engaged" (The Vancouver Sun), "fresh, technically assured and rewarding" (Boston Globe), "the audience was on its feet cheering and hooting as if it were a rock show" (New York Times). The ensemble’s debut recording, Stile Moderno, has been described as "such a convincing presentation...terrific" (Early Music - Oxford Journal) and “Breakthrough Album of the Year” (Huffington Post).

TechnoSonics XV: Found Sound Concert I: Sound in the Making- Featuring Guest Composer Joo Won Park
Thursday, November 6, 8pm, Live Streamed from Open Grounds
Live Streamed: 434-924-3052
TechnoSonics is an annual themed festival that showcases digital music and intermedia and brings high profile outside performers and composers to collaborate with UVA composers and faculty performers.
For our fifteenth annual TechnoSonics Festival, we focus on the role of “found sound” in new media. This combines the use of humble everyday materials and environmental sounds with technological processing, multimedia and live performance interactions. Reviews for Joo Won Park: “In the hands of Philadelphia-based Joo Won Park, the no-input mixer is less a matter of singing than full-on, tantrum-level glossolalia, a heavy gurgle of electric fissues. Up above is Park’s October 1402 (for no-input mixer and computer), which at times sounds like an arcade game on its last legs, and at others like freakazoid hardcore free jazz improvisation.”- Disquiet, October 2013 TechnoSonics XV: Found Sound is supported by the Office of the Provost & the Vice Provost for the Arts.

Friday, November 7, 8pm, Old Cabell Hall
Free- An Arts Enhancement Event
For our fifteenth annual TechnoSonics Festival, we focus on the role of “found sound” in electroacoustic music. This combines the use of humble everyday materials and environmental sounds with technological processing, and involves multimedia as well as purely musical performance. TechnoSonics XV: Found Sound is supported by the Office of the Provost & the Vice Provost for the Arts. Reviews for Annie Gosfield “An emotional highlight was Annie Gosfield’s ‘Long Waves and Random Pulse’ for violin and jammed radio signals... The sound palette created by these multiple layers was astonishingly rich, and at times the virtuosic violin line above the repetitive radio signal patterns took on the tried and-tested beauty of a Vivaldi concerto.” (The NY Times) For more information, visit http://bit.ly/found-sound-2. | |

Free Bridge Quintet 'Song for My Father': The Music of Horace Silver
Saturday, November 8, 8pm, Old Cabell Hall
$15 / $5 for students / free for UVA Students who reserve in advance
Box Office: 434-924-3376
The Free Bridge Quintet is the University of Virginia’s jazz faculty ensemble and includes John D’earth on trumpet, Jeff Decker on saxophones, Butch Taylor on piano, Peter Spaar on bass and Robert Jospé on drums. Horace Silver was a pioneering pianist and composer who secured his place in jazz history in 1953 when he and drummer Art Blakey founded the Jazz Messengers, perhaps the most influential group in the development of the jazz style known as “hard bop”. Silver’s writing and playing consciously reconnected jazz to its blues and gospel roots, rejecting the trend towards the more cerebral “cool jazz” of the mid-1950s. He emphasized bluesy melodies supported by irresistible rhythmic grooves while still incorporating the advanced harmonic language of bebop. The result was a legacy of compositions that have become sacraments of the jazz repertoire including such standards as “Cookin’ at the Continental”, “Nica’s Dream” and of course, “Song for My Father”.

| | | Once Gone
A new work by choreographer Abigail Levine and composer Erik DeLuca
Workshop Performance
Friday, October 24, 2014 | 7pm
Open Grounds UVa Post performance discussion with:
Katie Schetlick, UVa dance lecturer
Ted Coffey, UVa professor of music composition In Once Gone, Levine and DeLuca create a tightly structured system of sound and movement. The imperfection of the repetition inherent in this system becomes quickly palpable and a central source of the work's resonance. As the piece stretches out over time, the form decays and produces residue. The work speaks of change and disappearance, human effort and what remains after an ending.
