The
College of Letters and Science graduate student exhibition
will include work by two doctoral students in composition and
theory. The exhibition showcasing work by 29 graduate students in
seven disciplines will take place online this year due to
COVID-19. Sarah Wald is
presenting her Rumination on ‘La Prima Vez’ (for
solo flute), performed by Wald, and Meditation on ‘La Prima
Vez’ (for piano four hands), performed by the piano duo
ZOFO, along with the scores and program notes. The pieces are
part of her dissertation collection of works based on Sephardic
songs. Adam
Strawbridge will present a video performance by ZOFO of his
Ohrwurm, made up of ten variations of Bach’s
chorale “O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort” (BWV 20).
UC Davis music graduate student composer Adam
Strawbridge, along with Wyatt Cannon are
winners of the SFCMP’s SF Search (call for scores)
program. Both winners will have their pieces performed on the
Player’s May 2019
concerts at SFJAZZ, which features the music of Julius
Eastman and Bay Area composer, improviser, and pianist Myra
Melford.
