 | | and reservations: 518-828-0131, $10/8 DownTown Ensemble will present Artamidae, a set of pieces by Australian composer and performer, Ron Nagorcka in which he samples the fabulous songsters of Australia, especially of his home island of Tasmania and sets them for an ensemble of flute, clarinet, electric guitar, mandolin, trombone, didjeridu (an aboriginal instrument), and keyboards. |
 | | Peter Zummo, from New York, trombonist and a founding member of the DownTown Ensemble has been commissioned to compose a new piece for the group: Teapot/Heatsink (2002) takes its name from the phrase "Think of teapot as heatsink," which is an admonition to make a small contribution to energy conservation. |
 | | Rarely though does it attempt to move as close as Ron's work does to the essence of land and its non-human inhabitants and how they work on us." - Dennis Wild (naturalist and photographer) "... |
