Music for Motion Air and Strings

From Stephanie Griffin:
This will be our third production of this show, which we developed two years ago at our loft and subsequently brought to Salt Lake City. It is a unique dance production in that the musicians (myself and saxophonist Chris Mannigan) are really fully integrated into the piece as a whole. In fact the whole piece revolves around music. I have been describing this to friends as a choreographed viola recital – or, more accurately, a choreographic essay on the art of page turning.

The music includes selections from the highlights of my solo viola repertoire:

Bridges for Solo Viola by Brazilian composer Arthur Kampela

C’est un jardin secret, ma soeur, ma fiancée, une source scellee, une fontaine close by French composer Tristan Murail

Khse Buon for Solo Viola by Cambodian composer Chinary Ung

Music for Multiple Violas 1999 by Indonesian composer Tony Prabowo

Strung Out for Solo Violin (BETTER ON VIOLA!!!!!!!) by Philip Glass

Saxophonist Chris Mannigan will join me in:

Ke Erse by Tony Prabowo

Chris’ arrangement of an African children’s song

In addition to providing the sonic landscape for Stephanie Sleeper’s choregraphy, the written scores for these pieces form the basis for the set, a violistic jungle gym of sorts with pages of music hung from the ceiling on thick elastic bands – strung to hooks, weighted down by washers, gently pulled towards the violist at times, unceremoniously flung towards said violist at other moments. We like to call Stephanie's sleepdance company “High Stakes Dance.” It is thrilling to be a violist in imminent danger - and also rare for we players of the alto violin to have a whole staff of dancers and a saxophonist so elaborately serving to our needs!

My friend Taylor Ho Bynum wrote about the original production on his blog - please go to this link if you want to hear about it from his perspective (thank you Taylor!) - moreover, Taylor is a fabulous musician you all should check out yourselves, so while you are at it, please look at what he is up to:

Checkov Tryptich: A Concert of Checkov Stories, by Colin Pip Dixon

Three different stories. For each story, its own music. Where does the music begin? Where does the story end? Like chamber music, the two intertwine and accompany each other and the imagination does the rest.
This new composition, based on the stories of doctor and writer Anton Chekhov, recently played to great acclaim in Paris. Now Broadway actor MacIntyre Dixon joins Arnaud Ghillebaert and Colin Dixon to present this work for the first time in the United States.
Come and celebrate Chekhov’s 150th anniversary (2010) with this unique and poetic marriage of words and music. Discover, or rediscover, Chekhov with this triptych that is at once powerful, tender, funny, and heartbreaking.

Violist Ann Roggen’s talents stem from a wide range of solo and ensemble experience.

She has been awarded grants from Chamber Music America and the National Endowment for the Arts, and as a member of the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, has recorded extensively for the Telarc, Sony and Deutsche Gramophon recording labels.

She maintains an active and vital studio at William Paterson University where she is professor of viola, chamber music and orchestral studies, as well as in New York City where she teaches viola and chamber music. As a member of the Bennington College faculty, she has had great success in developing interdisciplinary cultural events designed to combine music with literature, history, dance and language in performance.

Ms. Roggen is a tireless advocate for unique and unusual repertoire for the viola in combination with other instruments and voice. In her role as Vice President of the New York Viola Society, she has been successful in creating numerous performance opportunities in New York City for dedicated violists to explore this repertoire, both old and new. In the fall of 2008, she was elected to the national board of the American Viola Society.

Some of Ms. Roggen’s recent creations include an evening of music for multiple violas, with violists of the London Symphony Orchestra, concerts of viola music by film composers, as well as an event presented by the Pen and Brush organization devoted to the life and works of composer Rebecca Clarke.

Highlights of recent seasons include concerto performances with the Zagreb Chamber Orchestra (Croatia), as well as recitals and master classes under the auspices of the American Cultural Centres in Zagreb and Vilnius, Lithuania.

Ms.Roggen received her musical training at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, and the Juilliard School. Her principal teachers and mentors have included Karen Tuttle, Lillian Fuchs, Joseph Fuchs and the Juilliard String Quartet.
