[NewMusicEvents] Three Concerts This Week for Margaret Greenlief

[Phillip Greenlief]

Dear Friends,
I don't quite know how to say this, but here goes:
My mother, Margaret Greenlief, passed away this morning at 6:00 am. I
have been with her a lot over the past few days and I am here to report
that she passed away peacefully. If you've been reading these emails
over the past few months, you'll know she has been ailing with the final
stages of lung cancer. She was an amazing woman - I am so blessed to
have known her.
Since my mom gave me so much love and strength in this life, I am going
to carry on this week with three performances and a live radio
broadcast. It's how she would have wanted it to be, I'm sure. 
Every time I told her that I was walking out the door to play music, she
always said the same thing: "play something nice for me."
That's exactly what I intend on doing this week. I offer this music to
the world as a celebration of her life and spirit. I have never known a
greater supporter and lover of music.
I hope to see you soon,
Phillip

Phillip Greenlief & Jon Raskin's 2 + 2 Series: 2007

Phillip Greenlief & Jon Raskin present a series of concerts where the
saxophonists invite a pair of "like instruments" to join them to explore
new directions in composition and improvisation.

8 pm
Phillip Greenlief & Jon Raskin, saxophones
Aurora Josephson & Dina Emerson, voices

9 pm
Cheryl Leonard, Ann Dentel & Karen Stackpole
Compositions from Leonard's Music for Rocks and Water series,
Stackpole's Cai Lun, a new piece that uses paper as an instrument, and
works from Dentel's 365.

In Cheryl E. Leonard's Music for Rocks and Water three musicians play
amplified water and a spectrum of rocks to evoke gestures and motions
from the natural world. This performance will feature newly composed
works that echo waterfalls, the shifting of tectonic plates, vortices
and whirlpools. The ensemble will play paper for Karen Stackpole's Cai
Lun, a piece based on the dramatic story of the origins of papermaking.
Cai Lun was a Chinese eunuch who invented paper in the year 105 CE for
Emperor He, and later became entangled in court intrigue and murder.
A.L. Dentel's 365 is a collection of works written one a day for a year.
Pieces range from classically notated compositions to text-based
improvisations, solos to large ensembles, serious to silly, and can
involve playing anything from traditional instruments to car keys and
rubber duckies.
