Dance Performance | Soundings: Four Performances by Jody Sperling/Time Lapse Dance
Jody Sperling/Time Lapse Dance presents four studio performances featuring two new works-in-process and a revival of Ice Cycle. The program highlights Sperling's ongoing collaborations with composer Matthew Burtner and cellist Scott Johnson. A pioneer in the field of environmental music, Burtner will perform live for the first iteration of Wind Rose, a new work-in-progress for the company that visualizes changing local and global winds patterns, and plays with different rhythmic and spatial patterning, pushing the boundaries of Sperling's use of her Fuller-influenced apparatus.A wind rose is defined as a time-honored measurement tool used by meteorologists to indicate wind speed and direction at a particular location. With Ice Cycle, which was inspired by Sperling's experience dancing on polar sea ice, Burtner and Sperling convey the fragility and dynamism of the Arctic icescape.The program also includes Sound Study, a developing collaboration between Sperling and Johnson begun during a residency with Human Impacts Institute. The playful duet investigates the atmospheric vibrations of the performance space.

Classical Music | A Celebration of Early Renaissance Music
Collectio Musicorum performs works by 15C European composers. Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474) was an innovative composer whose works changed the face of European music in the 15th century. Collectio will perform a number of his works, both sacred and secular including love songs and hymns, laments and prayers. Gilles de Binche (1400-1460) was a Netherlandish composer, one of the earliest members of the Burgundian school and one of the three most famous composers of the early 15th century. Pierre Fontaine (1380-1450) was a French composer of the transitional era between the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, and a member of the Burgundian School of composers. While he was well-known at the time, most of his music has probably been lost. All of his surviving music is secular, and all his compositions are chansons. Music Director of Collectio Musicorum Jeff Dailey is an active instrumentalist, musicologist, conductor, and stage director. His publications include studies of medieval and Renaissance music and theatre, Eugene O’Neill, Beowulf, Donizetti, and Gilbert and Sullivan. He has been president of the Greater New York Chapter of the American Musicological Society since 2008.
