New York State of Mind – March 8 at 7:00 p.m. (Saturday)
Part one of MOSA’s two-concert festival presents
a solo recital by saxophone virtuoso Noah Getz and pianist Laurence Gingold. The works on the program, which Getz recently
recorded for a soon to be released album, are primarily written by composers with ties to the New York metro area, including
Washington Heights’ resident Aaron Jay Kernis. Getz will also premier a new work by his American University colleague
Fernando Benadon.
"The saxophone is in a perfect position to interpret the
diverse musical influences of contemporary music,” said Getz. “The tonal and technical flexibility of this instrument
allow a wide range of emotion and a broad musical palette for the composer. Working in conjunction with composers and
performers to realize a new vision for contemporary music is one of the most gratifying aspects of playing music for me."
