2.23 @ 8 pm
Gianni Lenoci/Gianni Mimmo Duo
+ Ramin Arjomand
Gianni Lenoci studied improvisation with Mal Waldron and Paul Bley. Since 1979, he has performed extensively as a soloist, with jazz combos, and in experimental units with renowned players in both jazz and improvised music fields. Gianni Mimmo’s treatment of musical timbre and of advanced techniques on the soprano sax, to which he has monastically dedicated himself, have become the distinguishing features of his style.
Ramin Arjomand is a New York-based composer, pianist, conductor, and educator. His composition teachers have included Stephen Jaffe, Gheorghe Costinescu, Fred Lerdahl, Jonathan Kramer, and Tristan Murail. His concert music has been performed by the New York Virtuoso Singers, Speculum Musicae, So Percussion Ensemble, the Columbia Collegium Musicum, and numerous independent ensembles and soloists in New York City venues.
2.24 @ 8 pm
Collide-O-Scope Music
+ Toomai Quintet
Collide-O-Scope Music performs work by Luigi Nono, Iannis Xenakis, Chrisopher Bailey, Steven Gorbos, John Cage, and Alvin Lucier in a concert for piano, clarinet, and electronics. Their program “Dream of The Noctilucent City”draws inspiration from the phenomenon of noctilucent clouds, which offer a diaphanous window partially obscuring the intense light of higher, more brightly dense cloud layers.
The Toomai String Quintet is an ensemble devoted to performing music from the classical and contemporary repertoire while exploring and arranging music from around the world. Winner of the 92nd St. Y’s 2007 Music Unlocked! Competition for emerging ensembles interested in educational outreach, the Toomai String Quintet is dedicated to creating engaging interactive concerts for listeners of all ages. Toomai will play music by James Tenney, Scott Wollschleger, and Richard Carrick.
2.25 @ 8 pm
Dan Joseph Ensemble
The Dan Joseph Ensemble was founded by New York-based composer Dan Joseph as a vehicle for his growing body of post-minimal compositions. With a unique instrumentation anchored by hammer dulcimer and harpsichord, a mix of winds, strings and percussion, the ensemble sound is harmonically rich and deeply resonant, evoking a musical world both old and new; ancient and modern.

Curated by Matthew Lyons
This latest audio-visual project between long-time collaborators saxophonist, composer, and sound artist Briggan Krauss and abstract painter and film artist Raha Raissnia features all new music for Krauss' stellar trio H-alpha (Ikue Morion laptop, Jim Black on drums, and Krauss) plus an additional five-member ensemble conducted by Skuli Sverrisson. Best known as a member of the legendary group Sexmob, Krauss explores otherworldly sounds and sonic textures with composed passages as well as structured improvisation in this new work, and Raissnia creates an evocative vocabulary of shifting light forms through a new live cinema performance built from video, film, and slide projections.
Additional performers include: Brian Drye, trombone; Peter Evans, trumpet;Michel Gentile, flutes; Mike McGinnis, clarinet; Sarah Schoenbeck, bassoon; and Karen Waltuch, viola.
