Tonight Sarah Cahill
Posted by Christopher DeLaurenti on Fri, May 8, 2009 at 2:50 PM
I found out too late for The Score this week, but the remarkable pianist Sarah Cahill performs pieces from her project, "A Sweeter Music" tonight. Inspired by the marvelous MLK quote that "We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody that is far superior to the discords of war," Cahill commissioned piano music from Terry Riley, Meredith Monk, Frederic Rzewski, Kyle Gann, Larry Polansky, Jerome Kitzke, and Mamoru Fujieda - all are on tonight's program.
About her recording of Long Night, a piece for multiple pianos by Kyle Gann I described it as "...a 25-minute piece for three pianos whose mobile layers and loose, undulating lines suggest a half-dozen CDs of Erik Satie's melancholy Trois Gymnopédies dissected and layered in ProTools."
Catch Cahill tonight at the Chapel Performance Space, 8 pm $5-$15 sliding scale.
