"An evening of exploration from a master cellist"
by Jeremy Eichler
"Contemporary visual
art and contemporary classical music often inhabit strangely distant
universes, even though connections between them are numerous. The New
Gallery Concert Series aims to make these connections explicit by
presenting the two arts in dialogue .... Choosing [Matt] Haimovitz for
a benefit program sends a distinct message, as this Montreal-based
cellist is one of the most adventurous classical musicians out there,
and his recital was heavily tilted toward the new..."

Music Center Home to Two Wonderful Series
by Stephen Marc Beaudoin
"...Speaking of programs both cohesive and diverse, what does that
fiery pianist Sarah Bob have in store for us on this year's New Gallery
Concert Series, also housed at the CMCB? 'The 2002-2003 Series season
is rich and exciting not just because of the diverse programming, but
also the intense commitment from all of its participants AND audience
members,' enthused Bob. 'The energy is real and the devotion is
infectious. World premieres are a norm, especially for the October 17
concert, ranging from the beautifully choreographed performance of
Jennifer Stasack's 'Six Elegies Dancing' to 'The Backbone Flute,' a
piece for tape and seven string electric violin, performed and composed
by Adam James Wilson. The truth is, there is no limit to what defines
'new music' (or 'new art' for that matter) and that exploration is
exactly what the New Gallery Concert Series is all about.'"
