To the ancient Greeks, the word "pneuma" meant the animating warm breath in the cosmos and the body, our spirit or soul. The ten musical works on this concert present different facets of air in motion, ranging from the literal use of wind instruments to more abstract electroacoustic representations of singing, speaking, and snoring.
Guest composer Bruce Christian Bennett is a native of Seattle currently residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. His works have been played throughout the United States and abroad by such groups as the Arditti String Quartet, the Del Sol String Quartet, Earplay, and the Ensemble InterContemporain. His honors include a 2003 Fromm Foundation commission and the Prix Maurice Ravel at the American Conservatory at Fontainebleau in 1993. His interests and activities include compositions and improvisations for live, interactive, electroacoustic music.
