New York, NY – Rotunda, a film with electronic score by Judith Shatin will be presented in the coming week as part of the Wintergreen Summer Music Festival at Wintergreen Resort in Wintergreen, Virginia. The film will be screened on July 23 at 4:00 pm, July 26 at 3:00 pm, July 28 at 3:00 pm and July 30 at 4:30 pm. Ms. Shatin is Composer-in-Residence of WSMF.
Designed by Thomas Jefferson to represent the “authority of nature and the power of reason,” the Rotunda is the architectural and symbolic center of the University of Virginia, founded by Jefferson in 1824 as the first secular Liberal Arts university in America. Inspired by these now threatened ideals, composer Judith Shatin and filmmaker Robert Arnold have created a sound and video portrait of the Rotunda that juxtaposes its timeless majesty with the every-changing hum of daily life. More about the film and music at http://www.judithshatin.com/detail.php?compid=161. See an excerpt from the film at http://uvamagazine.org/only_online/article/rotunda_the_movie/.

Called “highly inventive...hugely enjoyable and deeply involving” by the Washington Post and "exuberant and captivating" by the San Francisco Chronicle, Judith Shatin's music is renowned for its dramatic shape and imaginative blending of acoustic and digital media, as well as her work in each. Orchestras that have performed her music include the Denver, Houston, Illinois, Knoxville, Minnesota, National and Richmond Symphonies. Her chamber and choral music is internationally performed and has been featured at festivals throughout North America and Europe. Her music can be heard on the new Innova Records release, Tower of the Eight Winds - http://www.innova.mu/artist1.asp?skuID=407 and the Hexagon Ensemble’s new Dutch Connection CD on Etcetera - http://www.hexagon-ensemble.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=75, with more on the Capstone, Centaur, Neuma, New World and Sonora labels. She has been commissioned by organizations and ensembles including the Barlow Foundation, Fromm Foundation, Kronos Quartet, Library of Congress, National Symphony, the Dutch Hexagon Ensemble, the Peninsula Women’s Chorus and the San Francisco Girls’ Chorus.
