[Nonsequitur] Tomoko Mukaiyama concert this Sunday!

[Steve Peters]

This almost didn't happen. Originally scheduled as a solo performance 
at Consolidated Works, Tomoko Mukaiyama will instead perform her solo 
concert haar/haar as the second half of her concert with Seattle 
Chamber Players. See below for details, and see our web site for links 
to artists (http://nseq.blogspot.com).

Seattle Chamber Players, Nonsequitur, and Washington Composers Forum 
present Dutch pianist Tomoko Mukaiyama and her video performance work 
haar/haar (her/hair). An hour-long piece that involves video projection 
on two screens adjacent to the piano, a pre-recorded soundtrack that 
interacts with the live piano and musical sources that range from Bach 
and Beethoven to Ligeti and Thelonious Monk, haar/haar is a 
self-described "Sonic Labyrinth, or a Forest, which interlaces various 
piano pieces through the 400 year history from Baroque to 
contemporary." The first half of the program features the Seattle 
Chamber Players  performing works by Dutch composers, including Louis 
Andreissen, with a film by Hal Hartley. One of Amsterdam's foremost 
pianists, Tomoko Mukaiyama guides SCP through today's Netherlands where 
performers, film and boombox meet.

Born in Japan, Tomoko Mukaiyama currently works in Amsterdam. After 
winning the International Gaudeamus Prize in 1991, she received 
invitations for solo recitals and concert appearances in Europe, Asia, 
and America. She won Japan's Muramatsu Prize in 1993. Her unique 
approach to the piano, in which she employs her voice and body, has 
inspired many composers including Frederic Rzewski, Louis Andriessen 
and Alexander Raskatov. As a result, many pieces have been composed and 
dedicated to her. She has been invited to perform with Ensemble Modern, 
London Sinfonietta, Ensemble Intercontemporain, and the Rotterdam 
Philharmonic Orchestra. She has collaborated with cinematographers, 
designers, architects, dancers and photographers, such as Ian Kerkhof, 
Marina Abramovic, MERZBOW, and Kim Ito. Her original style of 
expression using video and sculptural installations has opened new 
musical frontiers.

Hailed for daring and intelligent programming, uncompromising artistry 
and spirited performances, the Seattle Chamber Players enjoys a growing 
international reputation. For fifteen years, SCP's four core 
members—Laura DeLuca, clarinet, David Sabee, cello, Mikhail Shmidt, 
violin, and Paul Taub, flute—have been passionately dedicated to 
introducing rarely performed and previously unheard contemporary 
chamber music of the highest quality to the Pacific Northwest and 
audiences worldwide. The ensemble's work has been recognized with the 
ASCAP/Chamber Music America Award for Adventurous Programming.
