SUMMARY:ROME IS FALLING
DESCRIPTION:Rome is Falling  \nConceived & Composed by DOUG BALLIETT \nAugust 10\, 2024 | 4pm\nThe Clark Art Institute\nWilliamstown\, MA \nTickets \nAriadne Greif*\, soprano\nReggie Mobley*\, countertenor\nPaul Appleby\, tenor\nDoug Williams*\, bass-baritone\nJoe Monticello*\, flute\nClay Zeller-Townson*\, bassoon\nKeir GoGwilt\, violin\nColeman Itzkoff\, cello\nDoug Balliett\, composer/double bass\nJosh Stauffer*\, electric guitar\nElliot Figg*\, keyboard I\nMikael Darmanie*\, keyboard II\nJonny Allen\, percussion\nYoung person’s choir* (with Caitlyn Koester*) \n*Denotes guest artists \nRome was one of the greatest civilizations in the world; yet\, like all empires\, it fell. Why\, and how? The story is a mixture of politics\, betrayal\, immigration\, religion\, climate\, pandemic\, natural disaster\, xenophobia\, and bad luck (in short\, everything human\, and everything we face today). Rome is Falling\, an opera composed by American Modern Opera Company (AMOC*) member Doug Balliett\, is a zany lesson on the absurdity of what can happen when powerful people lose power. In his ever-prescient\, ever-joyful way\, Balliett brings audiences of all ages on a musical journey through a world that includes lollipops\, a ridiculous number of characters\, and an emperor with a chicken fetish. \nTickets $10 ($8 members\, $7 students\,$5 children 15 and under).

SUMMARY:AMOC* AT THE CLARK
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are now SOLD OUT for our LIVE\, outdoor performances at The Clark\, featuring violinist MIRANDA CUCKSON and electronic artist CHRISTOPHER BURNS\, directed by ZACK WINOKUR. \nThese performances feature Luigi Nono’s La lontananza nostalgica utopica futura (1988-89)\, which takes as its inspiration a wall inscription the composer encountered in a monastery in Toledo: “Wanderer\, there is no way\, there is only wandering.” A richly theatrical\, spatialized composition for violin and electronics\, the piece is a meditation on how we move forward when no path seems to exist. Hailed as one of the foremost interpreters of Nono’s penultimate piece\, AMOC violinist Miranda Cuckson is joined by electronic artist Christopher Burns in a new\, intimate\, and dramatic staging of the work directed by Zack Winokur. The performance\, which frames the violinist as a displaced wanderer in striking confrontations with surround sound electronics\, will be specially created for the breathtaking encounter of landscape and architecture that is the Clark campus. Cuckson and Burns’s “thrilling\, thoughtful” recording of the piece was named one of the best classical recordings of 2012 by The New York Times. Winokur\, whose work has been described as “pure poetry” (Boston Globe)\, joins this longtime collaboration in an outdoor\, moonlit production that promises to be a visceral experience of this rare experimental masterpiece.

SUMMARY:AMOC* AT THE CLARK
DESCRIPTION:AN AFTERNOON OF FREE PERFORMANCES \nAMOC returns\, after last summer’s campus-wide extravaganza\, to the Clark Art Institute for another afternoon of epic performances across the museum’s bucolic grounds.

Authorship is distributed not only between people\, centuries\, and traditions\, but also between disciplines. A running theme of the recital is Christopher GoGwilt’s ‘starling’ poetry form – a template of 27 words that lends itself to musical iteration and re-iteration. To date\, hundreds\, if not thousands of starlings have taken flight – this recital presents the most recent integration of this poetic form in a musical context. \nJohann Paul von Westhoff / Partita in d minor \ni. Allemande\nii. Courante\niii. Sarabande\niv.

This hour-long extravaganza features violinist Miranda Cuckson\, cellist Coleman Itzkoff\, percussionist Jonny Allen\, countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo\, and dancers/choreographers Julia Eichten and Zack Winokur. \nIannis Xenakis / Rebonds B \nJonny Allen\, percussion \nIannis Xenakis / Mikka S \nMiranda Cuckson\, violin \n Andy Akiho / 21  \nColeman Itzkoff\, cello\nJonny Allen\, percussion \n Tom Johnson / Nine Bells: First Bell \nJonny Allen\, percussion \n Bobbi Jene Smith / Whip-poor-will \nJulia Eichten\, dancer \n Tom Johnson / Nine Bells: Second Bell \nJonny Allen\, percussion \n Henry Purcell / “Dido’s Lament” from Dido and Aeneas \nAnthony Roth Costanzo\, countertenor\nColeman Itzkoff\, cello\nZack Winokur\, dancer & choreographer \n3:00PM – AUDITORIUM \nAMOC’s marathon of performances concludes with an intimate concert that exists at the edge of silence.
