The Robin Cox Ensemble
Z Programs: ROOM a new chamber music series
Royce Gallery, San Francisco
2901 Mariposa Street (between Harrison & Alabama)
Admission is $10
On Friday and Saturday, March 23rd and 24th, 2008, at 8pm Pamela Z Productions presents LA's Robin Cox Ensemble in the second event in the new Z Programs chamber series, Room. In this rare Bay Area appearance, RCE will perform an evening of contemporary works, including several by Bay Area composers.
This quintet of violin, cello, clarinet, and two percussion performs the post-classical music of Robin Cox and other contemporary composers. In the last seven years this group with a one-of-a-kind instrumentation has held over one hundred performances, collaborated with many prominent choreographers, composers, and video artists, and has released two critically acclaimed recordings. It is quickly developing a reputation throughout the United States for innovative and compelling concerts, which speak to a wide range of audiences in performances that are as intriguing as they are surprising. They have commissioned works from a wide range of composers, collaborated in numerous multi-media events, and shared the stages with musicians and composers such as Eve Beglarian, Sarah Cahill, and Art Jarvinen.
In addition to three works by ROBIN COX (Faster Than That, Drive, and Square Feet) the ensemble will be performing a work Outerborough by New York violinist/composer TODD REYNOLDS featuring video by award-winning filmmaker BILL MORRISON, and two works by Bay Area composers- Big Dig by RYAN BROWN and Dust by BELINDA REYNOLDS. And PAMELA Z will join the ensemble in the performance of a third Bay Area work- Six Degrees of Non- Sequiturization- a structured improvisational piece she created for the ensemble in 2006. The Robin Cox Ensemble is: Robin Cox (violinist/composer/director), Erik Leckrone (percussionist), Eric Mellencamp (percussionist), Maggie Parkins (cellist), Marty Walker, (clarinetist), and Nic Chaffee (audio engineer).
