Composers Concordance Presents - The Painters On Thursday, February 20th, 2025 at 7pm, Composers Concordance presents 'The Painters at Westbeth. 'The Painters' by Gene Pritsker is a 40-minute composition inspired by eight painters (with ten paintings each) who share a connection with the composer. The piece is performed alongside a video projection of the paintings and is scored for a modified string quartet: violin, viola, electric guitar, and double bass. Each of the eight movements focuses on one aspect of a particular painter and is titled as follows: 1 Sophie Dunér - The Art of Music 2 Mark Kostabi - Angels 3 Rainer Gross - Madras 4 Kim Pritsker - People & Pets 5 Paolo Foglia - Abstract 6 David Nicholson - Skulls 7 Rose Hackl - Textures 8 Chuck Connelly - Nudes The event will also feature 'Infinite Monkey' by composer Lynn Bechtold and poet Jim Kempner, inspired by Chuck Connelly's painting Monkey Family (2011), and 'Ballade & Vocalise' by composer Dan Cooper and poet Imelda O’Reilly, inspired by Connelly's painting David Bowie (2016). Both pieces will be performed by the composers and poets. The concert will also be live-streamed on Composers Concordance's Facebook Page. |
