Concert News & Program
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.

$8.00
