About this Event
Live From Troutman: Yarn/Wire Studio Concert
Join us for our first NYC event of the 2026-27 Season, continuing this popular FREE series of intimate evenings on YW's home turf of 17-17 Troutman St.
On Aug 21, we'll present a closer look at Nate Wooley’s starkly beautiful work After Nan Shepard, featuring the composer on trumpet and two incredible guest vocalists: Joan LaBarbara and Tara Khozein.
-
After Nan Shepherd explores tensions between improvisation and composition, modern and ancient expression, history and memory. Following inspiration from Scottish poet Anna “Nan” Shepherd’s repeated trips into the Cairngorm Mountains—as documented in her groundbreaking book, The Living Mountain—the piece takes four themes and slowly unravels them first, by using traditional methods of compositional variation, and then through increasing amounts of performer agency. This movement from composition to improvisation expands upon other pieces by Wooley, such as Mutual Aid Music and Four Experiments, and pays homage to historical movements in improvisation and indeterminacy in the grand tradition of American experimentalism.
