On June 10 at Z Space, Switchboard Music celebrates its tenth anniversary with a six-hour festival featuring the Kronos Quartet.
3:00 Paul Lansky's Threads & selections from Steve Reich's Drumming
The San Francisco Conservatory percussion quartet performs selections from Paul Lansky's Threads, written for So Percussion, and Steve Reich's Drumming.
3:45 Some other Fields: Teddy Rankin-Parker plays music by Michael Beharie
An ongoing collaboration between Bay Area cellist Teddy Rankin- Parker and New York-based composer Michael Beharie that aims to create a processed and amplified cello that demands its own conventions and performance practice.
4:30 Ryan Brown's Mortal Lessons
This is the second installment of a large, hour-long work for vocal quartet, percussion quartet, and two keyboards, based on a book with the same name by Dr. Richard Selzer. This work is a "medical oratorio" that teases out the sacred elements in the operating theater.
5:25 Ramon & Jessica's Roses are Blue
The music of Roses Are Blue explores Gertrude Stein's gorgeously imagistic and quirky book for children, The World is Round, published in 1939. This music speaks to audiences of all ages through music that is both strange and playful, evocative and challenging.
6:10 Billygoat
Billygoat-a two-man band who animate, compose and score their own stop-motion films from their St. Johns home in Portland-will present a film screening synced with a live music performance.
6:40 Switchboard's Tenth Birthday Party
7:30 Splinter Reeds
Splinter Reeds is the Bay Area's first reed quintet, comprising five innovative musicians with a shared passion for new music.
8:15 Kronos Quartet
For more than 40 years, the Kronos Quartet-David Harrington (violin), John Sherba (violin), Hank Dutt (viola), and Sunny Yang (cello)-has pursued a singular artistic vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually re-imagining the string quartet experience.
