A GREAT NIGHT OF NEW MUSIC

During a week when 20˚ seems like a heat wave, curling up on your couch come Saturday night with a steaming cup of hot chocolate might sound even more appealing then hearing brand new works from two of New York’s finest proponents of contemporary music. Well this Saturday night, Music on the Edge is bringing you the best of both worlds. When you walk through the doors of Bellefield Hall we’ll put a free, steaming cup of hot chocolate into your hands and you’ll also get to hear clarinetist Jean Kopperud and pianist Stephen Gosling give a recital of premieres, including a new composition by Pitt’s own Eric Moe (inspired by organisms who only survive in extreme conditions. Sound familiar?). You’ll have to bring your own couch

Find out more about Jean Kopperud and Stephen Gosling’s recital here.

Update: The article in The Pitt News is here.

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette features an in depth interview with Elliott Sharp in anticipation of his MOTE performance with the Sirius String Quartet this Saturday night at the Warhol. And if your on Pitt’s Oakland campus, pick up a copy of The Pitt News which interviews Mathew Rosenblum. The Pitt News article isn’t online yet, but if it goes up we’ll post it here as well.

As a different sort of preview, Elliott Sharp himself will be talking about his music here at the Music Building this Saturday 1 p.m. The talk takes place in room 123 and is free, so be sure to come by.
