New York, NY – Quintet of the Americas woodwind ensemble will present Mannahatta, a concert on Friday, June 25 – 7:30 PM at New York University’s Frederick Loewe Auditorium, 35 W. 4th Street, in Manhattan. This is their final concert both of the Quintet’s Mannahatta environmental concert series and their NYU Summer Institute for Woodwind Quintets for high school and college students.
Repertoire for this concert includes Mannahatta Windows by Robert Deemer and Hudson River Quintet by Brooklyn-based Christopher Kaufman for woodwind quintet with surround-sound audio tape and video of the Hudson River and environmental paintings by Ken Cro-Ken. Six Bagatelles by Gyorgy Ligeti and Danza del mediodia by Arturo Marquez will also be presented.
This concert is sponsored by the Steinhardt School of Education, Department of Music and Performing Arts of New York University. You can find more about the Woodwind Institute at http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/music/woodwind/summer.
The Mannahatta Project is reconstructing the ecology of Manhattan when Henry Hudson first sailed by in 1609 and comparing it to what we know of the island today, discovering the environmental foundation of the city. More about it at http://www. themannahattaproject.org/.
The June 25 event is free and open to the public. For more information, call NYU at 212-998-5424 or visit http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/music/events/music.
