Join us Saturday, October 3 at 7:00pm in the Charles W. Davis Concert Hall for an evening of new and multimedia music presented by Wildshore New Music. The ensemble's thirteenth season foregrounds Indigenous and Alaskan voices through interdisciplinary collaboration, improvisational practice, and chamber music as a site of cultural dialogue. Their mainstage program, a collaboration with Alaskan singer-songwriters, musicians, and filmmakers, presents a multidisciplinary work in three parts:
The first part centers on Ahtna Athabascan and Iñupiaq songwriter Quinn Christopherson, winner of NPR's 2019 Tiny Desk Contest. Christopherson reimagines his songs for chamber ensemble and co-creates a new work with Wild Shore's ensemble.
The second part pairs live music with experimental films by Alaskan filmmaker Michael Walsh, including Braking Breath (35mm silent color film). Wild Shore has commissioned composer Matt Evan to reimagine his work Still Live to accompany Braking Breath.
The final part brings together all of Wild Shore's artists for the early stages of a larger work-in-progress, combining film, composition, and improvisation. It features a birch-wood violin made by Christopherson's great-grandfather, Frank Hobson, known as "The Eskimo Violin Maker."
Performed by the Wild Shore Ensemble:
Katie Cox, flute
Andie Tanning, violin
Eleonore Oppenheim, bass
Sean Dowgray, percussion
