Tuesdays @ Monk Space PRESENTS
Alexander Elliott Miller & Wendy Richman: Solo Duos
Two dynamic performers present new works written as duets for solo performers.
Violist Wendy Richman, a founding member of the International Contemporary Ensemble, performs selections from “Vox/Viola”, a full length recording of music she commissioned for voice and viola for one performer. Including new work by Ken Ueno, Christian Carey, Arlene Sierra, Everette Minchew, José-Luis Hurtado, David Smooke, Jason Eckardt, Lou Bunk, and Stephen Gorbos, Richman drastically expands the repertoire for singing violist with this varied program.
During the pandemic, Alexander Elliott Miller wrote an album of music for electric guitar and synthesizers, rock influenced instrumental works describing experiences of quarantine, loss, the adrenaline rush of getting into running and forward looking hopefulness. This concert celebrates the release of that album, “Antibodypolitic.”
