GVSUNME rules! - Vrzhutoob Saturnday
A really special treat today on Uncle Vrzhuy's Whizzbang, kids. The Grand Valley University New Music Ensemble from Allandale, Michigan.
The GVSU New Music Ensemble's version of Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians was the best (classical[ish]) cd of last year. I urge you to go out and buy it. The GVSUNME is just the coolest thing ever. While you're waiting for that cd, here's three things with Bill Ryan and the GVSUNME: a promo for the aforementioned cd, another Steve Reich piece, "Clapping;" and -- I'm really excited about this --absolutely the best version of John Cage's 4'33" I have ever heard. Or seen. With a guest violinst!
I saw a dance piece done with a live performance of Steve Reich's Clapping. It was meh, but clapping is cool
