Portrait Concert of Matthias Pintscher by ICE at Columbia’s Miller Theatre

Oct. 07, 2010

On October 21, the International Contemporary Ensemble performs an evening-length portrait concert of Matthias Pintscher at Miller Theatre, including the US premiere of his Sonic Eclipse cycle. ICE, one of the leading emergent new music groups of the past decade, perform Pintscher's a twilight's song for soprano and ensemble, on a clear day for solo piano, Un Despertar for baritone and piano, and the US premiere of the "sonic eclipse" cycle, which includes Celestial Object I and II along with Occultation, all for ensemble. Pintscher writes:

My music places its trust in the power of the poetic…. I view my music as an ‘imaginary theater’ full of mysteries and secrets, always rediscovering and redefining its own sensibility. It brings forth soundscapes into which the listener can plunge, unleashing vivid pictorial associations and turning into a mirror-image of faded realities.
