Interpretations: Alexandra Gardner / Johannes Sidenius

Thursday, April 13, 20238:00 pm

Composer Alexandra Gardner will present new and recent works for instruments and electronics, including Juniper for solo shakuhachi, and Ayehli for marimba and electronics, Seduction Involves Patience for viola & soundtrack, and a work for baritone saxophone and electronics. With Elizabeth Brown, shakuhachi, percussionist Jeff Stern, violist Edwin Kaplan and saxophonist Doug O’Connor.

Composer and performer Johannes Sidenius will share “Lines in states of explosion/implosion (2022)”, a new work for electronically generated sounds based on the notion of one-dimensional lines reacting to gravitational forces by means of implosion and explosion.


The Interpretations series, now in its 33rd season, is a New York-based concert series focusing on the relationship between contemporary composers and their interpreters. Sometimes the interpreters are the composers themselves; more often, the series features performers who specialize in the interpretation of new music. Since its inception in 1989, Interpretations has featured leading figures in contemporary music and multimedia, including Muhal Richard Abrams, Robert Ashley, Anthony Braxton, Thomas Buckner, FLUX Quartet, Joseph Kubera, Annea Lockwood, and Alvin Lucier, Roscoe Mitchell, Phill Niblock, Pauline Oliveros, Ursula Oppens, and Morton Subotnick.

A livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing. Watch below or on YouTube.
