Description
Kevin Bowyer, organ
with assisting guest organists:
Stephen Gosling and Eric Huebner
Iannis Xenakis – Gmeeoorh
Brian Ferneyhough - Sieben Sterne
Milton Babbitt - Manifold Music
Charles Wuorinen - Natural Fantasy
Miller Theatre teams up with St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue to present a two-concert festival featuring some of the most extraordinary and seldom-heard music of the last 50 years that will showcase St. Thomas’s two remarkable organs. Kevin Bowyer opens with a program of organ pyrotechnics that will stretch his jaw-dropping virtuosity to its limits.
FREE ADMISSION - OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
***************************
Driving up to Casa Manila to procure weekend vittles (ensaymadas, kare kare, goto, menudo) I heard about this on KCR. Having the chance to hear the Xenakis live, for free no less, might make this difficult to pass up. The organ in question is apparently a mighty one and GMEEOORH calls for a few assistants to, at one point, depress entire banks of keys, all stops pulled, with yardsticks. Yeesh.
