DUKE NEW MUSIC ENSEMBLE [DNME] with Brian Howard, cello

We’re Indecisive People: featuring a performance of Imaginary Lines  (after Scelsi) by
Marc Jensen, the winner of [dnme]'s 2009 Call for  Scores

The Duke New Music Ensemble [dnme] returns to Brody Theater on Duke  University's East
Campus for a concert entitled "We're Indecisive  People," featuring a performance of
Imaginary Lines (after Scelsi) by  Marc Jensen, the winner of [dnme]'s 2009 Call for
Scores.  Over 60  works by 41 composers from around the country were submitted to this 
unique competition, all of which were scored for an unspecified  instrumentation, able to
realized by a variable group of musicians  and performers.

[dnme] will also be joined by cellist Brian Howard, performing works  by Michael Torke,
Chen Yi, George Rochberg and a premiere by Duke  graduate composer Ben Crawford. Crawford
invites members of the  audience to bring their laptop computers to interact with the 
musicians via wireless network, manipulating various aspects of the  live performance.

The concert will end with a special performance of Dutch composer  Louis Andriessen's
seminal "Workers' Union," an 18-minute raucous and  unrelenting piece for an unspecified
group of instruments.  The work  has the entire ensemble playing self-chosen pitches in a
unison,  driving rhythm.  In his performance instructions for the piece,  Andriessen
notes "only in the case that every player plays with such  an intention that his part is
an essential one, the work will  succeed; just as in the political work."

PROGRAM:

Michael Torke, The Yellow Pages (1985)

Chen Yi, Yang Ko (2000, arr. 2004)

Ben Crawford, New Work (2009)
