New York, NY – Chamber music by Judith Shatin will be presented on July 23 and 24 at the following locations:
Friday, July 23 – 7:30 PM, her Fledermaus Fantasy for solo violin with viola, cello, contrabass and piano will be given its American Premiere in this instrumentation at the Wintergreen Summer Music Festival at Wintergreen Resort in Wintergreen, Virginia. Ms. Shatin is Composer-in-Residence of WSMF.
The composer writes about the work, “I have composed Fledermaus Fantasy around four numbers from the operetta: the introduction, the aria, the Czárdás that Rosalinde sings in her disguise as an exotic Hungarian, and the tick-tock tune that accompanies Gabriel’s attempt to seduce his own wife. Fledermaus Fantasy layers a virtuosic froth, extensions, and inventions around the original melodies.” More about it at http://www.judithshatin.com/detail.php?compid=63. Other works on the program will be Erich Zeisl’s String Quartet #2, songs by Zeisl and Schoenberg and Schoenberg's arrangement of Johann Strauss II's Kaiserwalzer.

Saturday, July 24 – 4:00 PM, Ms. Shatin’s For the Birds, for amplified cello and electronic playback will be presented by the Society for New Music at Stone Quarry Art Park, Stone Quarry Rd. in Cazenovia, New York.
For the Birds, for amplified cello and electronics, is an homage to the birds of the Yellowstone region as well as a play on Cage’s book of that name. Rather than imitate the sounds of the natural world in music, the composer includes them, sometimes clearly, sometimes digitally transformed beyond recognition. More about it at http://www.judithshatin.com/detail.php?compid=103. Other works on the program include Harris Lindenfeld's From the Garden of the Dead, Alex Coronado's untitled, William Schuman’s XXV Opera Snatches and Daniel Dorff’s Trees.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, visit http://www.societyfornewmusic.org/concerts.cfm.
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.
