After extensive research into the archives of the under-appreciated American composer Henry Cowell (1897-1965), Other Minds presents Henry Cowell: The Whole World of Music, to include two separate concert programs featuring Cowell's music exclusively. Among the works to be presented will be well-known compositions like Set of Five (1952), more obscure pieces like Quartet Euphometric (1916-19) and Sonata for Violin & Piano (1945), his complete organ works, and even a number of unpublished songs.
A pre-concert panel discussion on November 13th will include composer John Duffy, founder of Meet the Composer and student of both Cowell and Aaron Copland; Joel Sachs, founder and conductor of New York's new music ensemble Continuum and author of a forthcoming Cowell biography (Oxford University Press); legendary record producer George Avakian; violinist and Cowell collaborator Anahid Ajemian; celebrated pianist Sarah Cahill; and composer Charles Amirkhanian of Other Minds.
The Whole World of Music will also include an exhibition of Cowell's manuscripts, notes, and artwork.
Henry Cowell: The Whole World of Music has been made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts as part of American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius.
