Location One 26 Greene Street (between Canal and Grand Streets) Jessica Pavone, Viola Mary Halvorson and Jessica Pavone have been collaborating
for over three years to create a unique body of duo music. The pair
combines lush melodies with textural improvisation and jagged rhythms
to create concise, enigmatic musical episodes. Their collaboration
utilizes a variety of timbres, achieved through amplification and
electronic effects as well as acoustic presentation. Halvorson and
Pavone, each of whom contributed original compositions to the project,
have developed a constantly expanding repertoire comprised of over
50 pieces. This concert celebrates the release of their first album
on the Lucky Kitchen label.

written in memory of Jacob Glick, internationally recognized violist
and teacher. He was principal viola in many groups, and as a chamber
music coach his inspirational and kind guidance was legendary. He
championed the music of the 18th century in his performance of numerous
works for the viola d'amore, and he was an advocate of contemporary
music and of living composers, premiering over 200 new works as
a performer and encouraging the study and performance of new music
as a music festival director and as a college teacher and coach.
The Viola Had Suddenly Become a Voice takes as its departure a quote from the last movement of Robert Schumann's Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 47 (1842), and includes self-references to Di Vivere, for clarinet in A and piano, with flute, violin and violoncello (1981), a work of mine that Jacob Glick admired.

Beethoven - "Eyeglasses Obbligato" Duo Paganini - Terzetto Concertante May 7, 2006, 6:00 p.m. Stephanie Griffin, Viola Michael Jarrell - "...more leaves..." for Viola, Sextet and Electronics (US Premiere) PROGRAM NOTE FOR MICHAEL JARRELL VIOLA PIECE: More Leaves (2000) Taken from From the Leaves of Shadow (1991), a concerto for viola and orchestra in which the solo instrument must face, sometimes in direct opposition, a relatively imposing orchestral mass, More Leaves (2000) for viola and a mixed ensemble of instruments and live electronics, continues to explore the colors and registers of an instrument that Michael Jarrell loves as much for its sonorities as for its hidden playing possibilities. Here the electronics are not a substitute for the original orchestral parts but, like a sonic shadow, enrich the solo instrument with deep and matte colors. For Jarrell, the attraction to low instruments is nothing new and, as Pierre Michel has noted, this love of the depths is perhaps connected to the idea of shadow, often present in the titles of his works: Der Schatten, das Band, dass uns an die Erde bindet (1989, Shadow, this band which ties us to the Earth); ...d'Ombres lointaines (1989-90, ...of faraway shadows...); From the Leaves of Shadow (1991, for viola and orchestra.) In this regard, Michael Jarrell has already evoked the importance of Franz Schubert's Song of the Spirits on the Water for men's choir and orchestra without violins: through it I discovered an extremely somber world and some extraordinary deep registers with a great number of resulting harmonics, offering a listening experience enriched by the friction between sonorities and absolutely fascinating timbres. As in ...some leaves II... (1998), a work for solo viola derived from the same concerto, More Leaves is sometimes an exact copy of the original concerto, with its opposition of extremely high (brilliant) and extremely low (more or less matte) registers. However, it distinguishes itself through a nostalgic distance, characterized by a new and much more intimate language. More Leaves was premiered on November 25, 1998
at IRCAM (projection
space) by Odile Duhamel.
