WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY PRESENTS NEW MUSIC CONCERT ON NOVEMBER 26
The William Paterson University Percussion Ensemble and the William Paterson New Music Ensemble will present a concert of twentieth century music on Monday, November 26 as part of the New Music Series on campus in Wayne. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Shea Center on campus. Admission is free.
Flutist Margaret Lancaster will join the ensembles as guest artist for Harvey Sollberger’s Double Triptych for flute and percussion and George Crumb’s An Idyll for the Misbegotten. Also on the program will be Fantasy Variations by Michael Colgrass and Dark Full Ride by Julia Wolf. Composer Rolv Yttrehus will be in attendance for the performance of his Six Pieces of Piano, which will be performed by William Paterson University music student Carl Bolleia.
Lancaster is known for her interdisciplinary collaborations with writers and composers, and has built a repertoire of works composed specifically for her, many of which employ dance, drama, multimedia and electronics. A member of Essential Music, the Glass Farm ensemble and the Downtown ensemble, she has performed at numerous music festivals in the United States and abroad. Lancaster has recorded a solo CD, Future Flute, a collection of new electro-acoustic works.
Yttrehus has received numerous awards, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. His music has been performed on the Fromm Festival in Tanglewood, the ISCM World Music Days USA, and frequently in New York by such groups as The Juilliard Ensemble, the Da Capo Chamber Players, The Group for Contemporary Music, Parnassus, Speculum Musicae, and Ensemble 21. He has served on the boards of the American Composers Alliance and the Composers Guild of New Jersey, of which he was president from 1985 to 1992. He is now professor of music emeritus at Rutgers University.
