A Concert Exploring the Influence of Anton Webern, with works by
WEBERN, FELDMAN, BOULEZ, OLIVEROS, SPAHLINGER,
and improvisations by
THE OAKLAND REDUCTIONIST ORCHESTRA
The music of Second Viennese School composer ANTON WEBERN (1883-1945) has influenced countless musicians for over 100 years. We present a concert of a selection of 20th and 21st century composers and improvisers who have adopted and transformed various facets of his innovative style. Twelve-tone technique, small forms, timbre exploration, reductionism, athematicism, and Klangfarbenmelodie will be in full display.
