FOUR PARTS FIVE (2012) premiere preview

FOUR PARTS FIVE is a new half-hour quintet by Gordon Beeferman that takes virtuosic rhythmic ensemble playing to the next level. Imagine György Ligeti, Philip Glass, Igor Stravinsky, Steve Coleman and Conlon Nancarrow having a dance party – with Morton Feldman and Count Basie watching wryly from the corner. Hot off the press (just finished in December 2012), FOUR PARTS FIVE will be performed by Gordon Beeferman with a great band of some of NYC's most talented and creative musicians. It promises to be a thrilling tour de force...!

Gordon Beeferman – piano + organ
Peter Hess – alto sax, bass clarinet, flute
Anders Nilsson – electric guitar
James Ilgenfritz – bass
Mike Pride – drums

QUADRILLE (2012) NYC premiere
Gordon Beeferman, piano
Stephanie Sleeper, choreography/dance
Momenta Quartet

QUADRILLE brings together composer/pianist Gordon Beeferman, choreographer/performer Stephanie Sleeper and the acclaimed Momenta Quartet. In this futuristic, 21st-century QUADRILLE, our couples, rather than pairs of traditional ballroom dancers, are pairs of dancing string players, in tandem with one real dancer and a (somewhat) immobile pianist. Stephanie Sleeper aspires to take musicians out of our comfort zones and put them on stage with trained dancers, making them an integral part of the movement. QUADRILLE offers new ways of allowing dance and music to entwine.

THE ENCHANTED ORGAN:
A PORN OPERA

by Gordon Beeferman and Charlotte Jackson
premiere works-in-progress performances, directed by Beth Greenberg
Dixon Place, 161A Chrystie Street, New York City
Tickets: $15

The Enchanted Organ is a burlesque opera that celebrates sexuality and satirizes the porn industry, while parodying four hundred years of the operatic tradition. Composer/librettist team Gordon Beeferman and Charlotte Jackson, with veteran director Beth Greenberg, bring their trademark wit and polymorphous perversity to this journey through "the Magical Kingdom of Porn," a place where past and present, straight and queer, and dead and living converge. Bridging the gap between “high” art and “low,” we puncture the turgid balloon of “traditional” opera and revivify the flaccid clichés of porn. Drawing on influences as diverse as classic 70s porn soundtracks, baroque oratorio, Ancient Greek hymns, and the Nutcracker ballet, this work-in-progress is as close as you'll get (or want to get!) to "aural sex."

MUSIC FOR AN IMAGINARY BAND

A real 7-piece group performing Gordon Beeferman's compositions -- gnarly, lyrical, whimsical, free-form -- an idiosyncratic mix of new-music, jazz, and free improv. Featuring Rich Johnson - trumpet; Joachim Badenhorst, Catherine Sikora, Ken Thompson - saxes/clarinets; James Ilgenfritz - bass; Ches Smith - drums; Gordon Beeferman - piano

"Gordon Beeferman’s Music for an Imaginary Band project may have a cumbersome name, but its output is some of the tightest, most skillfully arranged free jazz we’ve run across for some time. Beeferman and his collaborators…help us imagine what ’60s firebrands such as Albert Ayler would’ve sounded like set against lush, post-Ellingtonian backdrops…" Time Out New York

THE RAT LAND – a chamber opera (libretto by Charlotte Jackson)
Scene Two – concert performance – WORLD PREMIERE
presented by New York City Opera: VOX 2009
New York City Opera orchestra and singers

SCENE 2: The Birthday Party. Fourteen-year-old Karen brings home a new school friend, Leslie, only to have her father terrorize both girls in a sick parody of a birthday party. Louise, Karen’s beleaguered mother, rises to the girls' defense in a rare moment of assertiveness, but not in time to keep Leslie from fleeing. Karen consoles herself by preparing to transport herself to the North Pole to meet the Wise Rat, whom she looks to for salvation, but the Rat Deities transform her in ways she cannot expect…

New York City Opera will perform this half-hour excerpt featuring a dark, whimsical and dramatic score for six singers and thirteen-piece chamber orchestra.
