Spring Fever- April 13, 2006

For our final concert of the 2005-2006 season, the Southern Exposure New Music Series celebrates spring! We also celebrate the truly incredible world-class talents of our USC faculty and local musicians from Columbia, including pianists Phillip Bush, Lynn Kompass, Marina Lomazov, and Joseph Rackers, and percussionists Greg Apple and Scott Herring. The concert includes recent works by American composers John Adams ("American Berserk") and Mary Ellen Childs ("Kilter"), as well as the great Hungarian composer Bela Bartok's fantastic "Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion." We'll conclude the evening with a rare and revelatory performance of Igor Stravinsky's own two-piano arrangement of his unforgettable orchestral masterpiece, "The Rite of Spring." Please join us for this very special musical celebration!
