BACH FROM MUMBAI & CAGE ON GUITAR<\/strong><\/p>\n American guitar virtuoso Aaron Larget-Caplan returns to San Francisco for a one-night-only performance of ReImaginationS<\/em> at the Center For New Music on Saturday April 7 at 7pm, 55 Taylor Street in San Francisco, Tenderloin neighborhood.<\/p>\n ReImaginationS<\/em> explores keyboard works arranged for solo guitar by J.S. Bach and John Cage. The Cage compositions are from his early and mid-career, that vary from simple contrapuntal forms (Round, Canon) to dance works influenced by composer Erik Satie and Japanese music and aesthetics: spacious, modal and lyrical. Larget-Caplan\u2019s arrangements were recently published by Edition Peters, and seek to explore the timbre qualities of the guitar and the spirit of the 20th<\/sup> century American icon. They are the first sanctioned arrangements for guitar.<\/p>\n Indian-American composer Vineet Shende (Bowdoin College) reimagined J.S. Bach through the prism of him being born in Mumbai, India in his Preludes <\/em>from the Well-Tempered Clavier<\/em>. Shende\u2019s ‘Carnatic Preludes, After J.S. Bach’ <\/em>rewrite them in South Indian Carnatic musical language using ragas <\/em>(modes\/scales), as well as tala <\/em>(shifts in rhythmic groupings and metric modulations), which often play an analogous role to what harmonic tension\/release does in Western music. The three Carnatic Preludes on the program are paired with Larget-Caplan\u2019s artistic transcriptions of the original keyboard preludes for guitar. The musical collaboration is a true fusion of musical cultures between India & European classical music, and the musical epochs of the 18th and 21st centuries. All of the compositions featured are California premieres!<\/p>\n Larget-Caplan is on a solo 2-week 10-concert tour on the west coast that takes him from Los Angeles and Bakersfield through the Bay Area and Sacramento, before he heads to Oregon. \u201cI am very excited to be returning to C4NM and the Bay Area. The Bay Area is a perfect metaphor for my artistic imagination of various cultures positively influencing each other, living side-by-side and sharing in their arts. The Center for New Music is a gem and an important part of sharing in the cultural fabric that classical music often forgets to do or keeps in academia. I look forward to premiering these works with the SF community!\u201d<\/p>\n ABOUT THE ARTIST & ARRANGER Video Introduction of the John Cage Collection (2\u2019):<\/strong> https:\/\/youtu.be\/vJdTXTcxJfE CALENDAR LISTING<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday April 7 at 7pm \u2022 San Francisco, CA <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 March 4, 2018 BACH FROM MUMBAI & CAGE ON GUITAR American guitar virtuoso Aaron Larget-Caplan returns to San Francisco for a one-night-only performance of ReImaginationS at the Center For New Music on Saturday April 7 at 7pm, 55 Taylor Street in San Francisco, Tenderloin neighborhood.
