Network for New Music is pleased to present three exciting performances for our last event of 2020! First on the program is a special encore performance of Roberto Pace’s Solo on Puryear (a Network commission) performed by Mary Javian. Some of you might remember Mary’s premiere performance in 2017 at the Print Center and you won’t want to miss this brilliant new performance including slides from Martin Puryear’s prints that served as the inspiration for this important work. Next on the program is the premiere performance of Hatchback Tortoise for cello and guitar by Tom Kraines. You may already recognize Tom as a core Network Ensemble member, and also a member of the Daedalus Quartet; Thomas Schuttenhelm will join him on guitar for this, his Network debut as a composer! The concert concludes with a performance of Caleb Burhan’s Time Well Spent for solo marimba featuring Phillip O’Banion. The part requires the marimbist to sing while playing and Phil creates an outstanding interpretation of this ‘timely’ work.
