Annual CF2 Salon Concert @ Timucua Arts – 9/28

Reserve your tickets

The Central Florida Composers’ Forum presents its annual Salon Concert on Sunday, September 28th, at Timucua. This long-standing CF2 institution is unlike most CF2 events, which have a set instrumentation and theme, in this one, each composer writes for an ensemble or performer of their choice and provides their own performers, hence the DIY sobriquet. This evening’s concert will Florida and world premières of new works by Alex Burtzos, Nate Chivers, Troy Gifford, Kristi Ouellette, Mark Piszczek, and Paul Austin Sanders. Performers include Samantha Barnes Daniel (soprano), Jessica Hall Speak (clarinet), Yun-Ling Hsu (piano), Nate Chivers (guitar), Maria Pikoula (piano), Kristi Ouellette (soprano and piano), Heather Langs (piano), Emily Heumann (mezzo-soprano), Elaine Corriveau (piano), and Paul Austin Sanders (guitar).

The concert presents Alex Burtzos’ “Senescence,” for soprano, clarinet, and piano, Nate Chivers’ “Reticence,” “Windsor Jambs,” and “Live Oak” for electric guitar, Troy Gifford’s “Taqsim” for piano, Kristi Ouellette’s “Compensation” for soprano and piano, and her “Melancholy” for piano, Mark Piszczek’s “Three Songs To Poems By Vincente Huidobro” for mezzo-soprano and piano, and Paul Austin Sanders’ “Etude” for guitar and two electronic soundscapes of his, “Unfolding One At A Time” and “The Galactic Rim,” presented as bookends to the concert.

This is all unique and mostly not previous heard music — well worth your while.
