I’m excited to have a recent project where I did animation compositing and effects for Delanie Jenkins’ work that is being paired with the Del Sol String Quartet during the March 1st Sound Series: Beyond Microtonal Music Festival at the Andy Warhol Museum. 

More Info:
Hailed by Gramophone as “masters of all musical things they survey” and two-time top winner of the Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, the Del Sol String Quartet is a leading force in 21st century chamber music. Del Sol’s collaborative performance projects and chamber music programs explore narratives and cultures from around the world, reflecting the stories and sounds of the Pacific Rim as vibrantly as those heard in European concert halls or East Coast art spaces.

Touted as a “gifted young guitarist” by the New York Times, and “a guitarist to keep an eye on” by the Washington Post, Mak Grgic is emerging as a star on the worldwide stage. An expansive and adventurous repertoire attests to his versatility and wide-ranging interests. From the ethnic music of his native Balkans to extreme avant-garde and microtonal music, his roles as soloist, collaborator and recording artist are fueled by curiosity, imagination and boundless energy.

Guitarist Daniel Lippel, called an “exciting soloist” by the New York Times and “precise and sensitive” by the Boston Globe, has carved out a unique and diverse career that ranges through solo and chamber music performances, innovative commissioning and recording projects, and performances in diverse contexts. He has premiered more than fifty new solo and chamber works, many written for him, recording several on the independent label he co-founded and directs, New Focus Recordings.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Co-presented with Music on the Edge series of the University of Pittsburgh Department of Music

September 20th & 21st  |  Washington College in Chestertown, MD  |  7:30pm Tawes Theater

A multi-channel video installation and live performance piece, The Diva Saga: The Legend of the Worst Drag Queen, questions constructions of sexuality, gender, and identity in a digital age and examines how Veronica Bleaus became the self-proclaimed ‘worst drag queen.’ Lampooning normative and restrictive constructions of sex, artistic judgment, and popular culture, The Diva Saga draws heavily from numerous visual and aural storytelling mediums like comic books, Japanese anime, video games, music videos, and high fantasy.

A series of campy confrontations between a live Veronica and the avatars of drag—digital identities projected on stage (also played by Veronica)—the live and digital Veronicas clash in their respective interpretations, battling each other in a fantastic, campy visual and sonic narrative. A Drag Saga uses live and digital performance to gesture to and capture the importance of camp and divas in queer processes of self-making and alternative identity construction.
