Flutist Claire Chase, a 2012 MacArthur Fellow, offers a rare solo recital for New York audiences at Roulette Brooklyn on Friday March 8, 2013 at 8pm. Anchored by George Brecht’s 1962 fluxus work flute solo and six different solo iterations of Pauline Oliveros’ open-form score A Fluting Moment, Chase’s program weaves 20th century classics by Berio and Reich with three premieres by bold young voices: Evan Johnson, Mario Toledo, and Mario Diaz de León. All three new works were written for Chase; the Johnson and Leon will be heard in their world premieres on this program, and the Toledo will be heard in its New York premiere.

Chase has structured the program as a continuous 65-minute performance, with the Brecht at the bookends and the six different Oliveros interpretations as connective tissue between the other selections.
