Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space Celebrate the holiday season with an enchanting program of new music from the Bard Chinese Ensemble! This year’s program flows like a river of imagination — from the mist-veiled bridges of Jiagnan to the shadowed realm of spirits and demons, re-imagined through the lens of a German composer. One work invites the audience to experience three Asian fruits, transforming taste into sound, while the finale — essentially a Chinese La Mer — evokes the many facets of China’s rivers. Through these journeys, tradition breathes anew: in the poetry of nature, the pulse of myth, the colors and fragrances of tropical fruit, and the eternal song of flowing water. Come enjoy the sensational sounds of this large ensemble featuring a unique blend of Chinese and Western instruments. Ensemble music director Shutong Li conducts. FREE and open to the public.Sponsored by: Bard College Conservatory of Music.
Blum Hall Professor Sarah Hennies “Percussion as Experimental Practice” class performs “Stones” by Christian Wolff alongside a brand new collaboratively composed work for found objects and other non-traditional instruments. Sponsored by: Music Program.

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space You thought you knew madrigals: lots of “fa-la-la” and “hey-nonny-no”, right? Well, no! The sometimes virtuosic English and Italian madrigals you will hear at this concert will take you to some very unexpected places. The excellent soloists in Rufus Müller’s Performance Workshop will treat you to some well-known and many lesser-known gems of this long-lived period of music-making, mostly from the treasure trove of the late 16th- and early 17th-century. Gibbons (“The Silver Swan”), Weelkes, Byrd, yes, but also John Ward, Sigismondo D’India; and accompanied trios for mischievous women by Luigi Rossi.Sponsored by: Music Program.

Blum N211 Join us for a Improvised, experimental, and sonic (instrumental) conversation about the borderland(s). Marshall Trammell is a self-styled Music Research Strategist. As such, he is an Experimental/Creative Music Percussionist, Conductor, and Composer. His aesthetics and activism are centered in social change interventions and generate new local and global ecologies that embrace improvisation as a collective, movement-building tool in the creation of post-capitalist imaginaries. Trammell’s work also uses political aesthetic theory, data creation, mapping, and collective music-and-artmaking in order to step out of the domain of traditional cultural institutions, relocating the act of co-production back in the community.
Trammell’s work has been supported by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Center for Indigenous Studies, at Bard, Sacrum Profanum Festival (Krakow, Poland), COFTG/New Media Arts and Sound Summit, Borealis Festival of Experimental Music, Darmstadt Summer Courses, Sonic Acts Biennial, Charlotte Street Foundation, EastSide Alliance, NAKA Dance Theater, The Museum of Human Achievement, Off Lomas, Prelinger Library, Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. Southern Exposure, Western Front, Intercultural Leadership Institute and ProArts COMMONS.Sponsored by: Center for Indigenous Studies; Music Program.
