GORDON BEEFERMAN – New England Conservatory, Department of Contemporary Musical Arts residency
Jordan Hall, 30 Gainsborough Street, Boston, MA
Tickets (free, but must reserve in advance)

A special residency concert with composer, pianist, and improviser Gordon Beeferman, joined by CMA Department Chair Eden MacAdam-Somer (voice/violin/foot percussion), CMA and Jazz faculty Joe Morris (guitar) and CMA students on in Jordan Hall.

The program features Beeferman’s works, drawing on a multitude of genres and influences, including songs, compositions and improvisations on solo piano, and scored improvisations for trio and large ensemble. Tonight’s program also features The Sway, a piece commissioned by and written for Eden MacAdam-Somer in honor of the CMA department’s 50th anniversary. This extraordinary work for solo performer on voice, violin, and percussive dance joins others on the program in blurring the lines between contemporary improvisation, classical virtuosity, and avant-jazz innovation.
