Part of the Orac work ethic has always been concerned with what can rightly be called avant-garde composition.  So I’m happy to point out here that this Saturday I will be in Vancouver, helping perform live electronics for a very special concert of works by post-serialist hitmakers Helmut Lachenmann and Luigi Nono.  Lachenmann himself is visiting to lecture, so we hope we do a decent job.  Making the Max patch for Nono’s tuba piece has been an educational experience, one about which I hope to write more later.  But for now, just the show details:

Vancouver New Music, the University of Victoria, the UBC School of Music and the Goethe-Institut are pleased to host Helmut Lachenmann, one of the most influential European composers of the 20th and 21st century. With Special guest Helmut Lachenmann, Max Murray, tuba; Dániel Péter Biró, live electronics; Randy Jones, live electronics; Kirk McNally, live electronics; Jee Yeon Ryu, piano; Franklin Cox, cello;AK Coope, bass clarinet; Franklin Cox, cello; Jee Yeon Ryu, piano Works include Post-Prae-Ludium per Donau by Nono; 15’;Serynade, 25’, Pression, 10’, Allegro Sostenuto, 35’ by Lachenmann.
