Eureka! is a one-day conference organized by music graduate students that will take place at the University of California, Santa Cruz on May 9, 2015. The conference aims to create an unprecedented environment to showcase the diverse work created in Californian graduate music institutions, and forge lasting connections between graduate scholars within the state. Eureka! will conclude with a keynote address and discussion by composer Sean Friar and a session with ensemble-in-residence, Amaranth String Quartet. 

Jennifer Bewerse will present Liveness: Concert Music Outside the Economy of Repetition, a lecture recital at 10:30am in room 131.

The nineteenth and twentieth century redefined music as a musical object, emphasizing the score and situating performance as a repeatable object transparent to the score. The dominance of audio/video recordings in the music economy is a natural progression of this object-based value system and is further reflected in the current trend to document all live performances. But, reflexively translating live performance into a recorded medium privileges static structures and erases performing bodies. Helmut Lachenmann’s Pression and Tom Johnson’s Failing represent works resistant to this economy of repetition by engaging with indeterminacy and embodiment. Critically examining these characteristics is crucial to performance practice in order to maintain a diverse repertoire that enacts varied viewpoints through their appropriate mediums.

If it's short it will be this tall.

The Now Hear Ensemble presents "Once is Never." A concert which will focus on audio and video feedback as a creative tool. Repetition, recycling and transformation of music and images will unveil their lesser-explored possibilities. You will experience a total immersion into Joshua Carro’s vast live processed acoustical spaces, the excitement of Anthony Garcia’s post-pop minimalist grooves, and the masterfully crafted intersection of theatrically, staging and synchronized live video of Michael Beil’s Karaoke Rebranng! and Exit to Enter.

Southland Ensemble, L.A.’s fast-rising experimental music collective, offers an intense portrait concert of the early oeuvre of Robert Ashley (1930–2014), a restless innovator of American music. Although the composer is best known for his later operas and theatrical works, the group focuses on a collection of seldom-performed compositions from the 1960s—
work thought to be more conceptual than musical. The ensemble sets out
 to demonstrate otherwise. Its program features the iconic pieces She
Was a Visitor (1967) and The Wolfman (1964) alongside lesser-known, though equally strong, titles such as Trios (White on White) (1963) and the 
In memoriam... trilogy (1963). 

Admission: $25 / $20 / $12
