You are invited to join us for
2005 Chrysalis Concerts
Saturday, December 3rd, 8 p.m. Sunday, December 4th, 4 p.m.
Chrysalis New Music Studio
(SOMA between Harrison and Folsom, Fifth and Sixth.)
Come experience the resonance of live music in just intonation.
These concerts will feature music composed by Cris Forster for seven original acoustic instruments, played by the Chrysalis Ensemble. Joining the ensemble for these concerts are five musicians who have participated in our internship program, funded by a generous grant from the Argosy Foundation Contemporary Music Fund.
The music comes from two of Cris Forster’s large works. The first is Song of Myself: Intoned Poems of Walt Whitman. Mr. Forster will intone four of the Whitman poems, accompanied by ensemble musicians playing Chrysalis and Harmonic/Melodic Canon.
The second featured work is Ellis Island/Angel Island: A Vision of the American Immigrants. Excerpts to be performed include solo pieces for Glassdance, Diamond Marimba, and Just Keys, (a piano tuned in just intonation), as well as two ensemble pieces. One of these is the premiere of a Quartet featuring Glassdance, Just Keys, Bass Canon, and Bass Marimba, recently completed by Cris Forster for the Chrysalis Ensemble.
