SUMMARY:Performance: Ljubinka Kulisic (accordion)
DESCRIPTION:Performance: Ljubinka Kulisic (accordion)\nThursday\, July 25\, 2024 at 7pm\nBlack Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street}\nTICKETS – $15 General Admission / $10 BMCM+AC members + Students w/ID \nJoin us for an exciting performance by accordion virtuoso Ljubinka Kulisic\, featuring works by John Cage and John Zorn\, including Cage’s Dream\, Souvenir\, and Cheap Imitation I and II\, as well as Zorn’s Road Runner. \nAbout the Program: \nThe program features three pieces by John Cage: Dream (1948)\, composed for solo piano and premiered at Black Mountain College on August 20\, 1948. Originally written for Merce Cunningham’s choreography\, this piece’s melodic line and sustained resonances create a haunting and ethereal atmosphere. Souvenir for solo organ showcases Cage’s innovative approach to the organ\, aligning with his prepared instrument aesthetic despite its limited presence in his work. Cheap Imitation I and II (1969)\, inspired by Erik Satie’s Socrate\, highlights Cage’s use of the I Ching for rhythmic patterns. Initially composed for piano\, it marks his return to composition after a seven-year hiatus and reflects his deep personal connection to Satie’s work. \nAdditionally\, the program includes John Zorn’s Road Runner (1986). This thrilling\, cartoon-inspired solo accordion piece captures its namesake’s frenetic energy through rapid jump cuts and dynamic changes. \nAbout Ljubinka Kulisic \nBorn and raised in Bosnia and Herzegovina\, Ljubinka Kulisic is an accordion artist whose repertoire spans music from early baroque (adaptation for free-bass accordion) to contemporary music written for her instrument.
