#1953: Program #1953

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
Tonight’s New Sounds features new music for piano, or many pianos. Some works are for conventional piano, like Marti Epstein’s spacious and referential “Waterbowls”. Also, hear Jeff Keezer take dubbed layers of piano to create amazing textures along with other piano works in unconventional tunings and tonal colors. Pianist Kathleen Suppove pounds out a knuckle-twister of a piece by Frederic Rzewski, “Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues” to round out the program.
