A Sweeter Music: A Live Concert by Sarah Cahill with Video by John Sanborn Screening: Sun. Oct 18th, 2009 @ 3:30 PM - 142 Throckmorton Theatre, Mill Valley, CA
FOCUS: ARCHITECTS OF THE AVANT-GARDE • Celebrated pianist, writer and radio host Sarah Cahill actively investigates life through her music. Exploring the meaning of Dr. King's words—"We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody that is far superior to the discords of war"—and inspired by a recent arrangement of antiwar hymn "Down By the Riverside," Cahill commissioned leading contemporary composers to create new works for solo piano. In what promises to be an unforgettable event—set against stunning visual poems by seminal video artist and longtime MVFF favorite John Sanborn—each piece in this live concert represents a composer's vision of peace or reaction to war. The program will include, among much else, a West Coast premiere excerpt from a resetting of Steppe Music by Meredith Monk, The Residents' drum no fife (Why We Need War) and Terry Riley's Be Kind to One Another (Rag). —Ashley Nee
