When musical visionaries Gunther Schuller and Ran Blake founded the groundbreaking Third Stream Department in 1972, they inaugurated a rich conversation between multiple musical styles and communities. Tonight's concert traces the cutting edge at NEC, from the earliest days of the Third Stream department to present-day innovations under the department's current name, Contemporary Improvisation.=0D=0A=The CI program trains musicians to broaden their musical palettes and develop unique voices as composer/performer/improvisers. Compositions—selected by Gunther Schuller—trace a nearly hundred-year history of stylistic crossings and radical innovations. Current CI students show how a departmental tradition of innovation continues today in a program of original compositions and re-compositions developed in weekly workshops directed by Tanya Kalmanovitch and CI faculty.=0D=0A=Program to include:=0D=0A=Ran Blake performs an improvisation on Gunther Schuller's Magic Row=0D=0A=Charles Ives In the Inn for Theater Orchestra directed by Eden MacAdam-Somer=0D=0A=Gunther Schuller Transformation directed by Ken Schaphorst=0D=0A=Scott Joplin Solace (A Mexican Serenade) for ragtime orchestra directed by Hankus Netsky=0D=0A=Anthony Coleman performs Jelly Roll Morton's 'Grandpa's Spells'=0D=0A=Tal Zilber performs his recomposition of Gunther Schuller's Of Reminiscences and Reflections for solo piano and electronics=0D=0A=Fiddler Rachel Panitch directs a large ensemble inspired by Gunther Schuller's Country Fiddle Orchestra=0D=0A=Violinist Yasmine Azaiez performs a transcription of a piano solo by Cecil Taylor '51 DP=0D=0A=Hui Weng leads a re-composition of a modern Chinese composition for guzheng, violin, and cello=0D=0A=Student compositions premiered by Survivor's Breakfast ensemble, coached byAnthony Coleman=0D=0A=Ilya Portnov performs African-American prison songs recast on harmonica, clarinet, and fiddle
