EIGHTH BLACKBIRDEighth Blackbird is “one of the smartest, most dynamic contemporary classical ensembles on the planet” (Chicago Tribune). Launched by six entrepreneurial Oberlin Conservatory undergraduates in 1996, this Chicago-based super-group has earned its status as “a brand-name…defined by adventure, vibrancy and quality….known for performing from memory, employing choreography and collaborations with theater artists, lighting designers and even puppetry artists.” (Detroit Free Press)

Eighth Blackbird first gained wide recognition in 1998 as winners of the Concert Artists Guild Competition. Over the course of two decades, the group has commissioned and premiered hundreds of works by composers such as David Lang, Steven Mackey, Missy Mazzoli, and Steve Reich, whose Double Sextet went on to win the 2009 Pulitzer Prize. A long-term relationship with Chicago’s Cedille Records has produced eight acclaimed recordings and four Grammy Awards for Best Small Ensemble/Chamber Music Performance, most recently in 2016 for Filament. They were named Musical America’s 2017 Ensemble of the Year, and in 2016 were the inaugural recipients of Chamber Music America’s Visionary Award and the prestigious MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions.

Eighth Blackbird’s 2017-18 season marks debuts in Turin, Milan, and Budapest, with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Cincinnati Ballet, tours through 11 states, and the release of Olagón, a new album featuring music by Dan Trueman,

poetry by Paul Muldoon, and sean nós (old style) singer Iarla Ó Lionáird. Eighth Blackbird celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2016 with tours of music from Filament and Hand Eye, as well as keystone performances celebrating Steve Reich’s 80th birthday, a fresh round of raucous shows with “Appalachian post-punk solipsist” (The Wanderer) Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy), and world premieres by Holly Harrison, Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lang, and Ned McGowan.

Eighth Blackbird’s mission—moving music forward through innovative performance, advocating for new music by living composers, and creating a legacy of guiding an emerging generation of musicians —extends beyond recording and touring to curation and education. The ensemble served as Music Director of the 2009 Ojai Music Festival, has held residencies at the Curtis Institute of Music and at the University of Chicago, and holds an ongoing Ensemble-in-Residence position at the University of Richmond. The 2015-16 season featured a pioneering residency at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art: a living installation with open rehearsals, performances, guest artists, and public talks. In 2017, Eighth Blackbird launched its boldest initiative yet with the creation of Blackbird Creative Laboratory, a tuition-free, two-week summer workshop and performance festival for performers and composers in Ojai, CA.

Eighth Blackbird’s members hail from the Great Lakes, Keystone, Golden, Empire, and Bay states. The name “Eighth Blackbird” derives from the eighth stanza of Wallace Stevens’s evocative, imagistic poem, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird: “I know noble accents / And lucid, inescapable rhythms; / But I know, too, / That the blackbird is involved / In what I know.”

Eighth Blackbird is managed by David Lieberman Artists, Hazard Chase, and Paola Castellano.

Eighth Blackbird is ensemble-in-residence at the Universityof Richmond. Nathalie Joachim is a Burkart Flutes & Piccolosartist. Michael J. Maccaferri is a D’Addario Woodwinds Artist.Matthew Duvall proudly endorses Pearl Drums and AdamsMusical Instruments, Vic Firth Sticks and Mallets, ZildjianCymbals, and Black Swamp Percussion Accessories.

COMPOSER BIOGRAPHIESSleeping Giant is a collective of six young American composers. These “talented guys” (The New Yorker), who are “rapidly gaining notice for their daring innovations, stylistic range and acute attention to instrumental nuance” (WQXR), have composed a diverse body of music that prizes vitality and diversity over a rigid aesthetic. Their works have appeared in concert halls and clubs throughout the US and Europe, from Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center to Wigmore Hall and the Concertgebouw, in performances by the Berlin Philharmonic Foundation, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, New York City Opera, the Jack Quartet, and the New York Youth Symphony.

Current projects include a two-year Music Alive residency with the Albany Symphony and a collaborative work for cellist Ashley Bathgate. They have presented sold-out concerts at New York’s (le) Poisson Rouge, Brooklyn’s Littlefield, and at John Zorn’s The Stone. In 2011, they collaborated on Histories, a Stravinsky-inspired work for Ensemble ACJW and the Deviant Septet commissioned by Carnegie Hall.

Sleeping Giant is:

Timo Andres (b. 1985) is a composer and pianist who grew up in rural Connecticut, studied at Yale University, and lives in Brooklyn, NY. A Nonesuch Records artist, recent commissions include the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and a piano quintet for Jonathan Biss and the Elias String Quartet. Andres has performed solo recitals for Lincoln Center, Wigmore Hall, the Phillips Collection, (le) Poisson Rouge, and San Francisco Performances. He has performed the Philip Glass complete Etudes (alongside the composer) at BAM, San Francisco Performances, the National Concert Hall in Dublin, and the Barbican in London. For more info visit www.andres.com.

Hailed as “a rising star” by The New Yorker and winner of the 2015 Samuel Barber Rome Prize, Christopher Cerrone’s (b. 1984) compositional voice is characterized by profoundly

expressive lyricism, ringing clarity, and a deep literary fluency. His opera Invisible Cities, based on Italo Calvino’s classic surrealist novel, was a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize. Recent and upcoming commissions include works for soprano Hila Plitmann and the Los Angeles Philharmonic; Rachel Lee Priday and David Kaplan; the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra; Present Music; pianist Vicky Chow; Third Coast Percussion and Sandbox Percussion; and live original scores for installations at the New Museum and the Time Warner Center by artist and filmmaker Marco Brambilla.

Jacob Cooper (b. 1980) has been lauded as “richly talented” (The New York Times) and “a maverick electronic song composer” (The New Yorker). Nonesuch Records released Cooper’s song cycle Silver Threads in April 2014 to critical acclaim, and Timberbrit, his “gutsy opera” (Time Out NY) about a fictional reunion between Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered. Upcoming projects include a commission for Theo Bleckmann and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, a commission for cellist Ashley Bathgate, and a new work for Mobius Percussion funded by a Chamber Music America commissioning grant. Cooper is an Assistant Professor of Music at West Chester University.

Composer, singer, and bandleader Ted Hearne (b. 1982) draws on a wide breadth of influences ranging across music’s full terrain, to create intense, personal, and multi-dimensional works. The New York Times included Hearne’s oratorio The Source on its list of the best classical vocal performances of 2014, noting that the work “offers a fresh model of how opera and musical theater can tackle contemporary issues: not with documentary realism, but with ambiguity, obliquity and even sheer confusion.” Law of Mosaics, his 30-minute piece for string orchestra, was named one of The New Yorker’s most notable albums of 2014 by Alex Ross and has recently been performed by the San Francisco Symphony and Chicago Symphony Orchestra. His most recent collaboration paired him with legendary musician Erykah Badu. Hearne is the recipient of the Gaudeamus Prize in composition and the New Voices Residency from Boosey and Hawkes. He recently joined the composition faculty at the University of Southern California.

Celebrated for his “roiling, insistent orchestral figuration” (The New York Times) and “glittery, percussive pieces” (Toronto Globe and Mail), Robert Honstein (b. 1980) is a composer of orchestral, chamber, and vocal music. Honstein co-founded Fast Forward Austin, an annual marathon new music festival in Austin, TX. His debut album RE: You was released by New Focus Recordings in 2014 and his second album, a collaboration with the Sebastians, was released on Soundspells Productions in 2015. Upcoming projects include commissions from cellist Ashley Bathgate, percussionist Doug Perkins, and a string quartet for Music at Edens Edge.

Andrew Norman (b. 1979) is a Los Angeles-based composer of orchestral, chamber, and vocal music. His distinctive, often fragmented and highly energetic voice has been cited in The New York Times for its “daring juxtapositions and dazzling colors,” in The Boston Globe for its “staggering imagination,” and in the Los Angeles Times for its “Chaplinesque” wit. Norman’s symphonic and chamber works have been performed by leading ensembles worldwide, and his 30-minute string trio The Companion Guide to Rome was named a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize in Music. Norman joined the faculty of the University of Southern California in 2013.

Hand Eye is a collection inspired by a collection. Each of the six composers of the composing collective, Sleeping Giant, chose a work of visual art belonging to the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation for Art to use as motivation for their own musical contribution to Hand Eye. Some composers chose to recreate or aurally represent their chosen artist’s process, while others responded more broadly to the work’s subject matter or character. Heard as a continuous whole, Hand Eye is an audio tour through a stunning collection of contemporary art, and a testament to the power of dialogue across artistic disciplines. Below are program notes from the composers themselves:

CHRISTOPHER CERRONE: SOUTH CATALINA

ANDREW NORMAN: MINE, MIME, MEME

ROBERT HONSTEIN: CONDUIT

South Catalina draws its inspiration from two sources. “Swarm,” an interactive sculpture by the London-based collective, rAndom International, responds to sounds with a blast of beautifully asynchronous lights. The first time I saw the work, which is at the entrance to the gallery, I immediately had the idea for a piece of music in which sharp and loud attacks in the piano and percussion would inspire a flurry of wild and improvisatory gestures from the rest of the ensemble.

When I lived in Los Angeles in the fall of 2013, I was struck by its quality of light. Every day in Southern California was unfailingly bright, and while this can be initially enchanting for an East Coaster used to gray winters, it can also feel oppressively out of sync with one’s mood. South Catalina draws on both of these sensations, with driving optimism but also relentless and unforgiving forward movement. South Catalina depicts two successive days, with their unrelenting brightness, and the divergent path that each one takes.

Mine, Mime, Meme was inspired by rAndom International’s installation piece “Audience,” in which a field of small, mirrored machines rotates to follow the movements of any viewer that steps into its midst. In my three short pieces, the cellist finds himself in a sonic space where everything he does is mimicked by the five other instrumentalists. As the music progresses through various moods and modes of expression, the followers get better and better at predicting the cellist’s moves, eventually subsuming the cellist into their collective motions and then fighting amongst themselves for supremacy.

Conduit takes its cue from an interactive sculpture by digital artists Zigelbaum and Coelho. In their 640 by 480 the human body merges with computational process, facilitating simple copy/paste operations between sculptural elements. Set in three movements — Touch, Pulse, Send — Conduit evokes this man/machine synthesis. As bright waves of color explode from repeated sonic bursts, Touch compulsively repeats the gesture so fundamental to how we interact with our devices. In Pulse, long lines in the flute and cello move through a cloud of asynchronous repeated notes, evoking the instantaneous moment when data passes

from finger to screen. Finally, Send completes the transfer. Action follows as the music energizes and accelerates, moving briskly to a wild conclusion.

The patterned pen-and-ink abstractions of Astrid Bowlby—and by association, the work of Edward Gorey—inspired the textures of Checkered Shade. The piece is structured as a gradual zoom outward; tiny fragments of repeated material resolve into larger patterns, which, at the urging of the violin, eventually coalesce into an expressive chorale. Robert Arneson’s painting “Bye Bye Huey P.” is a portrait of 24-year-old Tyrone “Double R” Robinson, who murdered Huey P. Newton (co-founder of the Black Panther Party) in 1989. Robinson, a member of the Black Guerrilla Family, is painted with a giant praying mantis superimposed over his face, its wings circling Robinson’s bloodshot eyes. When I saw this work at the Frankel Gallery, my guide told me Arneson included the mantis in the portrait because “they eat their own.”

Like Arneson’s painting, my piece By-By Huey memorializes the (self-)destructive. The piano leads, with aggressive and unhinged music that forces the other instruments to follow or be left behind, but its strings are muted for much of the piece, leaving its voice muzzled and growling.

Cast draws inspiration from Leonardo Drew’s paper casts of everyday objects like dolls, trinkets, and kitchenware. It aims to reflect the sense of absence and nostalgia evoked by Drew’s work, and to provide an aural analogue to his artistic process. I incrementally build a “cast” of disparate and self-contained instrumental gestures (a detuned clarinet arpeggio, an isolated flute multiphonic, a brush across the violin bridge) around a central “object” (a gentle monolithic vibraphone line). I then gradually remove the “object,” leaving only the sonic encasement.

Hand Eye was commissioned by the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation for the Great Lakes Chamber

Music Festival and by Carnegie Hall.
