New York, NY – Judith Shatin’s Run for piano quartet will be given its New York Premiere by the Locrian Chamber Players on August 26 – 8 PM at the 10th floor performance space of Riverside Church, 490 Riverside Drive in Manhattan.

The composer writes about the work, “Run, a one-movement piece for piano quartet, plays on the musical and temporal meanings of the word "run", with chromatic runs that are rhythmically displaced and crosscut, and with changing and layered rates of fast-paced motion. Respite is brief, as it so often is in our lives.” Read the complete notes at http://www.judithshatin.com/detail.php?compid=51.

Other composers on the program include Harrison Birtwistle, Frank J. Oteri, John Luther Adams, Ken Sullivan and David Macdonald. Members of the ensemble are Emily Wong, piano, Jonathan Faiman, piano, Katie Lansdale, violin, Calvin Wiersma, violin, Daniel Panner, viola, Greg Hesselink, cello, Anna Reinersman, harp, Diva Goodfriend-Koven, flute.
