SF Contemporary Music Players Announce 2011-12 Concert Season

PRLog (Press Release)– Apr 07, 2011– The 2011-2012 season is entitled Zones of Intensity, (a term coined by Edgard Varèse), and was programmed by newly-appointed Artistic Director and conductor Steven Schick with input from the musicians of the ensemble.  There will be five concerts of new chamber music performed at Herbst Theatre, and five informal Contemporary Insights: Music and Conversation events presented at chrysler the ODC Dance Commons.

This season's highlights include: three world premieres commissioned by the ensemble from California-based composers Olly Wilson, Michelle Lou, and Edmund Campion; an hour-long piece by John Luther Adams; and significant works by master composers Iannis Xenakis, Lou Harrison, John Cage, Salvatore Sciarrino, and others.  In March 2012, Steven Schick will give the 20th anniversary performance of Brian Ferneyhough's percussion solo "Bone Alphabet" which was written for Schick and premiered by him in 1992.
