CONTEMPORARY PERFORMANCE ENSEMBLE

CPE presents a concert of music for mixed ensemble by new Mills faculty
composer Roscoe Mitchell (Darius Milhaud Chair in Music Composition)
and renowned Bay Area composer Terry Riley. Each performer in
Mitchell’s “Cards” has a deck of five cards of music, which can be
shuffled, dealt, and played in any order. Riley’s “In C” consists of
fifty-three cells of music to be performed sequentially, but not
simultaneously, by the ensemble.

Roscoe Mitchell: Cards
Terry Riley: In C
