Dog Star Orchestra 5
where: Calarts & Eagle Rock
. . .
    
. . .
Dog Star Orchestra presents a breathtaking collection of contemporary and classic experimental repertoire. Now in its fifth year, nearly 40 musicians and music lovers will be participating in this year’s events. Many of the 48 scheduled works have rarely, if ever been performed or recorded. This year, the festival will be archived in its entirety, here, at dogstarorchestra.org.
Highlights include a 6+ hour rendition of La Monte Young’s Composition 1960 No. 7, performed simultaneously with works by Pisaro and Tenney, and selections from Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit events for orchestra and Morton Feldman’s gorgeous piano repertoire.
Named partly as a nod to Stan Brakhage and partly to commemorate the looming “dog days” of summer in the high desert, Dog Star Orchestra is organized annually by acclaimed experimental composer Michael Pisaro. Each themed day - ostensibly, a casual, communal gathering of music lovers - challenges interpretation and listenership over the course of an immersive and intensive week of music-making.
