 |
| Accordionist and ‘new music’ composer Guy Klucevsek performs in a concert presenting his own compositions to celebrate his 70th birthday at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Staten Island, New York, on Saturday February 25th, 6 pm. The program includes pieces from a recent album, ‘Teetering on the Edge of Normalcy’, plus other items such as ‘Pauline, Pauline’, dedicated to the late fellow accordionist, composer and colleague Pauline Oliveros, who passed away recently at the age of 84. The performance will be followed by a Questions and Answers session. Performing with Guy are Kamala Sankaram (vocals and accordion), and Todd Reynolds (violin). Tickets are $10. There will be a pre-concert reception at 5 pm. Guy Klucevsek, a highly accomplished and respected musician who has long been associated with ‘new music’, has performed and/or recorded with John Williams, Laurie Anderson, Brave Combo, Anthony Braxton, Anthony Coleman, Dave Douglas, Robin Holcomb, Kepa Junkera, the Kronos Quartet, Natalie Merchant, Present Music, Relâche, Zeitgeist, and John Zorn. He will join the Boston Pops Orchestra this spring in a concert celebrating John Williams' 85th birthday. He can be heard on John Williams’ orchestral scores for the Steven Spielberg films ‘The Terminal’, ‘Munich’, and ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’. In 2010 he received the United States Artists Collins Fellowship, a $50,000 no-strings award given annually to ‘America's finest artists’. Guy Klucevsek has premiered over 50 solo accordion compositions, including his own, as well as others from Mary Ellen Childs, William Duckworth, Fred Frith, Aaron Jay Kernis, Jerome Kitzke, Stephen Montague, Somei Satoh, Lois V Vierk, and John Zorn.
