New Music Group Rolls Out Its First Concert in So Pasadena June 20
Clear evidence that the San Gabriel Valley is coming alive with new sounds of music is now apparent given the newly formed group IN FREQUENCY that carries the sub-title “Music, Now and Then”. Co founded by violinist Tereza Stanislav and percussionist Andrea Moore, seven members will perform new, exciting compositions that generally were introduced after 1950
This is a tremendous chance to hear works by Elliot Carter, Gernot Wolfgang, Jo Kondo, Annie Gosfield and Iannis Xenakis. Member-performers have been heard many times in our area to great acclaim by all the local reviewers. Elissa Johnston, soprano has performed with the California Philharmonic, Southwest Chamber Music (and recorded with them) and Los Angeles Master Chorale; Donald Foster, clarinet, is principal clarinetist with Pasadena Symphony and was a winner in the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts Instrumental Competition; Robert Edward Thies has performed with the Pasadena Symphony, the South Pasadena Restoration Concert Series and will solo with the California Philharmonic Orchestra this summer season; Andrea Moore, percussion, is an active member of Pasadena-based Ensemble GREEN and current Executive Director of Camerata Pacifica that performs during the winter season at The Huntington Library; Timothy Loo, cello, who has been heard locally with Pacific Serenades and Camerata Pacifica.
