Earplay First Mondays 14: Jean Ahn, Lapis Reprobatus November 2021 Earplayers: Tod Brody, flute; Peter Josheff, clarinet; Thalia Moore, cello Jean Ahn, composer Video by Omid Zoufonoun Audio by Bruce Bennett Produced by Richard Festinger ABOUT LAPIS REPROBATUS Lapis Reprobatus was originally commissioned by Left Coast Chamber Ensemble in 2015 to be performed on their "Left Coast Goes to the Museum" concert. The works commissioned for this program were based on two sculptures that were housed in the de Young Museum's Gallery 16. Each of the two sculptures inspired three works by young composers. Jean Ahn's Lapis Reprobatus was inspired by Cornelia Parker's Anti-Mass sculpture, which represents the charred remains of an Alabama Black Southern Baptist Church that was destroyed by arsonists. Per Rebecca Wishnia's San Francisco Classical Voice review, "Lapis Reprobatus depicts this brokenness through abrupt bursts of pitched and unpitched materials. The overall effect is tremendously sonorous; it exceeds the sum of its parts." The title of the piece evokes Psalm 118:22 "lapis quem reprobaverunt aedificantes factus est in caput anguli" ("The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone."). — J. A.

Twilit (2020) by Addie Camsuzou for clarinet, violin, and viola World premiere; Earplay commission Performers: Peter Josheff, Terrie Baune, Ellen Ruth Rose. Recorded on 02/10/2020 at Herbst Theatre in San Francisco by Yibo Zhu (video) and David Ogilvy (audio). World premiere; Earplay commission. Program Notes: Twilit was inspired by an early morning walk through a softly-lit field. The sunlight shone through the mist in such a way that patches of newly-green grass and delicate spiderwebs appeared to glow in the distance. This piece is dedicated to the talented musicians of Earplay, and is written in honor of my father, who loved beautiful walks more than anyone I know. — A. C.

(http•••) Composer: Kyle Hovatter (2011) Kevin Rogers, violin Anne Suda, cello Stepan Rudenko, piano SFNewMusic and Nonsemble 6 Collaborative Concert: "For the End of Time" Zion Lutheran Church, San Francisco, CA May 14, 2011 - World Premiere Program Note: "Aloft" for violin, cello, and piano is music about music. Inspired by the cherubic sensations heard in Olivier Messiaen's Quartet, this melodic allusion to the shared musical language of Debussy blurs ancestry and existent. No revolution is attempted - only respectful applause of the enduring. Nonsemble 6 bio: Nonsemble 6 is a San Francisco-based sextet comprised of top innovators on the Bay Area musical landscape. Over the past three years, N6 has performed in numerous Bay Area venues including on the Noe Valley Chamber Music series, at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, at the Switchboard Music Festival, and the California Academy of Sciences (with composer Mason Bates) in addition to performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC; at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon; as artists-in-residence at the Astoria (Oregon) Music Festival; at An die Musik in Baltimore; and on tour to perform and lecture at Western Illinois University and Monmouth, Augustana and Knox Colleges. In the first half of the 2012-2013 season, N6 focused on returning to their roots in Schoenberg’s expressionist cabaret work Pierrot lunaire. N6 was originally formed to learn this work, and became well-known for their early multimedia performances of Pierrot which included commissioned artwork by Los Angeles artist Mara Elana and projected subtitles. In October 2012, on the centenary of Pierrot’s debut, N6 collaborated with Brian Staufenbiel (of UC Santa Cruz and Ensemble Parallel) to stage a completely memorized performance incorporating costuming, makeup, stage movement, and video projections on the San Francisco Conservatory’s Alumni series. N6 will repeat this performance at Salle Pianos, a gallery-style venue in San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz, and Stanford University in April 2013. The remainder of 2013‘s season includes the premieres of several new pieces of music. In April 2013, N6 is a featured ensemble, along with the Del Sol Quartet and Speak Percussion, in composer Kevin James’ Vanishing Languages project, which will culminate in a world premiere performance of a new work at ODC Commons in San Francisco. To produce librettos for the May 2013 premiere of a new monodrama commissioned from composer Danny Clay, N6 hosted workshops at San Francisco’s 826 Valencia called Singable Stories, where they worked with seven students on drafting dramatic stories to be set to music. N6 is also set to premiere future commissions by Luciano Chessa and Adrian Knight. In the 2011-2012 season, N6 made their debut at the Noe Valley Chamber Music Series, and collaborated frequently with the math-punk ensemble Grains and the drums-guitar duo The Living Earth Show in scored and improvisational music, including a performance on the fifth-anniversary Switchboard Music Festival. Nonsemble 6 is a fiscally sponsored affiliate of the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the service of chamber music in California.
