This Saturday our friends at AIRMW present Syzygia (Jeff Chan, Robbie Lynn Hunsinger, Jamie Kempkers, Michael Perkins). The program will open with an improvised piano/flute duo from Michael Perkins and Jeff Chan, followed by the full band Syzygia performance.
Program:
Set 1 - Improvised Sonata for Piano and Flute
The Improvised Sonata for Piano and Flute is an improvised work inspired by contemporary classical music. The piece is loosely structured on and follows the traditional sonata form.
Performed by Michael Perkins (piano) and Jeff Chan (flute)
Set 2 – Syzygia
Syzygia is a newly formed ensemble that performs improvised music and expands on the concepts stemming from pianist Michael Perkins and woodwind performer Jeff Chan’s development of the Improvised Sonata for Piano and Flute. This ensemble adds to the original duo of Perkins and Chan, with leading Chicago new/creative music artists Robbie Lynn Hunsinger and Jamie Kempkers completing the quartet.
