Judith Shatin’s Glyph, for solo viola, string quartet and piano, will be performed on Monday, August 3 at 6:00 PM by violist James Dunham and faculty members of the Aspen Music Festival and School in the Festival's Harris Concert Hall in Aspen, Colorado.
The composer writes, “Glyph, (1984) for solo viola, string quartet, and piano is cast in four movements. A glyph is a figure carved in relief, and the title refers to the creative process of composition, the carving of sound in relief through time and on oneself. The four movements are titled Luminous, Flickering, Ecstatic, and Incandescent, all aspects of light. They refer to the shifting relationships that color the interactions of the solo viola, quartet and piano.” Read her complete notes at http://judithshatin.com/glyph-chamber-version/.
Soloist, chamber musician and teacher, James Dunham is active internationally as a recitalist and guest artist. He has collaborated with such renowned artists as Emmanuel Ax, Joshua Bell, Lynn Harrell, Cho-Liang Lin and members of the American, Guarneri, Juilliard, Takács and Tokyo Quartets. Summers are spent at festivals including, Aspen, Santa Fe, Sarasota and Ernen (Switzerland) Festival der Zukunft. He is Professor of Viola at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music. Visit him at http://jamesdunham.com/.
Other composers on the program are Faure and Brahms. More information about the August 3 concert is available at http://www.aspenmusicfestival.com/events/calendar/chamber-music-august3/#.Vb-e4Zc5s4N.
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, Virginia, 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. 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.
Innova Records has issued Judith Shatin's critically-acclaimed Time to Burn CD, with a combination of chamber and electroacoustic music performed by the Cassatt Quartet, violist James Dunham, pianist Margaret Kampmeier and others. Her music can also be heard on the Ravello, Etcetera, Capstone, Centaur, Neuma, New World and Sonora labels. She is currently William R. Kenan Jr. Professor at the University of Virginia, where she founded the Virginia Center for Computer Music. Visit her online at http://www.judithshatin.com.
