Electronic Music Visiting Artists: Julie Herndon, Rachel Beetz, and Berglind Tómasdóttir
Monday, February 17, 2025 7:30–9 pm
Blum Hall Performances of compositions and improvisations for two flutes, piano, and electronics.
As a composer, flutist, and improviser, Rachel Beetz explores presence through sound and listening. Her works recreate physical atmospheres based on her deep listening adventures in the wild, exploring hidden worlds of nature and machines. Combining experimental field recordings and electronically modified flutes, her works examine community, environmentalism, and women’s work through sound, textiles, and lighting. Her projects have been featured in concert halls and galleries in Australia, Iceland, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States. You can hear her on Orenda, Blue Griffin, iikki, Neuma, and Populist record labels. She is currently a co-director of Populist Records.
Julie Herndon is a composer, performer and sound artist. Her work explores the body’s relationship to sound using musical instruments and technologies. Her compositions and installations, described as “like a signal from another world” by Tages-Anzeiger, have been presented at the MATA Festival and National Sawdust in New York, San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, Sonorities Festival in Ireland, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Oaxaca in Mexico, Music Biennale Zagreb in Croatia, Artistry Space in Singapore, and by Forest Collective in Australia. Julie is currently Assistant Professor of music technology and composition at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.
Berglind Tómasdóttir is a flutist and interdisciplinary artist living in Reykjavík, Iceland. In her work she frequently explores identity and archetypes, as well as music as a social phenomenon. An advocate of new music, Berglind has worked with composers such as Björk, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Peter Ablinger and Carolyn Chen, and received commissions from Dark Music Days, The National Flute Association, Cycle Music and Art Festival, Reykjavík Arts Festival and Nordic Music Days, to name a few. Berglind Tómasdóttir holds degrees in flute playing from Reykjavik College of Music and The Royal Danish Music Conservatory in Copenhagen and a DMA in contemporary music performance from University of California, San Diego. Berglind is a professor in contemporary music performance and program director of NAIP (New Audiences and Innovative Practice) at Iceland University of the Arts.

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space Raymond Erickson is a musician-scholar of unusual breadth. He has travelled the world as a performer on both piano and harpsichord (with improvisations often integrated into his programs) and has made significant contributions as a musical historian in fields as diverse as computer applications in music, medieval music theory, Schubert, and Bach. For almost forty years he was on the faculty of Queens College and the Graduate Center, CUNY, serving as founding Director of the Aaron Copland School of Music and Dean of Arts and Humanities at the College and as the principal teacher of historical performance practices at the Graduate Center.
Upon his retirement, he and his wife moved to Rhinecliff; he has since become a regular instructor in Bard's Lifelong Learning Institute as well Artist-in-Residence at the Conservatory. Erickson has four books to his credit and for many years directed, in both New York and Japan, "Rethinking Bach: A Workshop for Performers." His current research focuses on the performing history of Bach's iconic Ciaccona for unaccompanied violin, on which he has published several articles and produced two videos (one with a performance by Bard alumna and faculty member Luosha Fang). His honors include election as an Honorary Member of Phi Beta Kappa, and decoration with the Federal Service Cross, First Class of the Federal Republic of Germany.
