Duet By Peri Mauer Will Debut at Rockwood Music Hall

Composer Peri Mauer will debut her new composition for cello and recorded sound Sunday, September 15, 2019, 5:30pm at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3, located at 185 Orchard Street, NYC.

About the composition, she writes: "I recently came across a cassette recording I had made of my former non self-defrosting refrigerator defrosting in my first Manhattan apartment in Chelsea. The sound of the melting ice created a varied rhythmic pulse within a pentatonic pitch framework that to me is charmingly musical. Inspired - and wanting to play along - I composed a cello part using the material presented by my freezer's defrosting progression. This will be the first performance of the ensuing duet."

The concert is presented by Concept Lab, an exciting new exploratory music series featuring finished works, works in progress, improvised works and collaborative and multi-disciplinary projects in all stages of completion.
