Gail Archer (organ)
Gail Archer is a Grammy-nominated, international concert organist, recording artist, choral conductor and lecturer. Lucid Culture proclaimed, "Like the composers she chooses, Archer's playing spans the range of human emotions—with Bach, there’s always plenty to communicate, but this time out it was mostly an irresistibly celebratory vibe." Ms. Archer's recordings span the seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries, a festive discography that highlights her musical mastery on grand Romantic instruments as well as Baroque tracker organs. Her most recent compact disc, Bach, the Transcendent Genius, celebrates the brilliant improvisations on Lutheran hymn tunes of the "Great 18" chorale preludes (MM1013). Ms. Archer is college organist at Vassar College, and director of the music program at Barnard College, Columbia University where she conducts the Barnard-Columbia Chorus. She serves as director of the artist and young organ artist recitals at historic Central Synagogue, New York City.

Ensemble for the Romantic Century
Celebrating its 15th season, the Ensemble for the Romantic Century (ERC) returns to BAM Fisher for six performances of Anna Akhmatova: The Heart is Not Made of Stone. Written by Eve Wolf and directed by Donald T. Sanders, this multi-media production examines the troubled relationship between artistic creation and totalitarianism through the perspective of the Russian poet Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966). This tale of passion, love, political repression, and redemption is interwoven with music by Russian composers’ Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich.

Anthèmes 2 Pierre Boulez
Institute of Contemporary Art
100 Northern Ave.
United States
617.478.3103
http://www.icaboston.org
info@icaboston.org
With the ensemble Sound Icon (direction, Jeffrey Means).
Anthèmes 2 is an extanded version of Anthèmes 1 which has been revised for violin and live electronics at IRCAM in 1997. Compared to the first version, the question was to find how to coordonate the artist’s interpretation with the computer’s one.
The piece of Boulez work also uses a much more sophisticated system based on a perceptive approach of the spatial sound which enables the auditors to clearly hear the sounds wherever they are, regardless of the place and number of loudspeakers.

HIDDEN Chaya Czernowin
Institute of Contemporary Art
100 Northern Ave.
United States
617.478.3103
http://www.icaboston.org
info@icaboston.org
Chaya Czernoiwn plunges her vast creation HIDDEN in a subaquatic landscape, devoid of all human presence and pierced by sonorous monoliths. In this writing of observation and perception, silence plays an essential role. Here, this silence, not often a form of rhetoric, measures the distance to the object and imparts the work's spatial dimension. In the words of Gurnemanz' prophecy made to Parsifal, "here time becomes space".
According to Harvey, his fourth serie of String Quartet adopts “a simpler and more direct musical discourse (than the first, second, or third series) using pentatonic harmonies. While memories, or traces, of former movements occasionally surge forth, it is silence that dominates….. The desired effect is that of stasis; here there is no climax, but a state of meditation, vibrant and alert. We could imagine the life of a monk, a life dedicated to spiritual aspiration.”
