The Interpretations Series 36th season continues with a split program featuring the trio Present: Miguel Frasconi, Tom Hamilton, and Matthew Ostrowski, with guest Meaghan Burke; and violinist/composer Mari Kimura performing a solo program featuring works written for violin and the MUGIC© motion sensor which she developed and manufactured.

Electronic and mixed-media artists Miguel Frasconi, Tom Hamilton, and Matthew Ostrowski resume their collaboration as Present with a new live work featuring guest cellist Meaghan Burke. The trio originally started during a months-long project over Zoom in the early months of the pandemic. Sharing the evening will be violinist and composer Mari Kimura, who will perform MUGIC Magic!, a solo program of international scope, featuring works written for violin and her MUGIC® motion sensor. The program will include works by Dai Fujikura (Japan), Páll Ragnar Pálsson (Iceland), Ileana Perez Velazquez (Cuba), Jean Claude Risset  (France) and Nolan Miranda, as well as Kimura’s own recent works Sasakawa in a new violin version, and SOMAXMOBILE, which utilizes IRCAM’s SOMAX technology.

The Interpretations series 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.
