Admission: $20

AC-Institute is proud to present virtuoso flutist ROBERT DICK as part  
of its new Experimental Music series ALTERNATE CURRENTS. With equally  
deep roots in classical music old and new and in free improvisation  
and new jazz, Robert Dick has established himself as an artist who has  
not only mastered the flute, he has redefined it and its music.  
Diverse global audiences have likened his uncanny solo performances to  
“the experience of hearing a full orchestra.”  Dick’s sound can be  
thick chords one instant, then chromatic percussion, then delicate  
whispering filigrees, then a display of surprising power. His  
performance includes flute (with his invention, the Glissando  
Headjoint®), piccolo, alto flute, and bass flutes in C and F, and the  
giant, stand-up contrabass flute. http://www.robertdick.net

Robert Dick will present original compositions for flutes, selected  
from Dick’s thirty years of creating music – repertoire ranges from  
the now classic Afterlight, to the science fiction scenario of IF for  
amplified bass flute in F, to the performance art combination of  
poetry and acting with flute performance of everyone@universe.existence.
