Winter 2010

Premiere Concert

February 5, 2010 / Rec Center Studio / Echo Park, CA

Audio, video and photographs of this performance are available on our media page.

wild Up opened 2010 with a premiere concert: “I See It Coming” songs after Radiohead. The 24–member group comprised of young professionals from the Los Angeles area, is brought together around the collective understanding that the “Art Music” concert experience could do with a serious overhaul, and that above all else: quality breeds joy. 

The February 5th premiere plotted a course to the present with seminal masterworks from the last two and a half centuries: J.S. Bach – Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Igor Stravinsky – Dumbarton Oaks, and John Adams – Chamber Symphony and a few outstanding orchestrations of Radiohead, by Joshua Bornfield. A main tenet of the group’s ideology is that the space for art is absolutely integral to its ability to open the listener‚ and with that in mind the concert is in the starkly beautiful Jensen Recreational Center Studio, off Sunset in Echo Park.

Outliers

December 2010

Bach, Schöenberg, Zappa, Varèse, Reich

In any system an outlier is a phenomena that exists outside the normal experience. In music our most powerful outliers often are the voices of change, and in many ways evolve quickly from outlier to generative seed in a new movement. These artists exist, pulling music to and fro, dragging the boundaries of what any particular set of listeners expects and is willing to accept.

Ornithology

March 2011 / Downtown artwalk warehouse space

Messiaen, Haydn, Charlie Parker, Andrew Bird

A study of fluttering, winged life: For centuries artists have been obsessed with the study of birds, their sounds, and the freedom with which they move through the world. To start Spring we follow a few visions of flight, through jazz, the avant-garde, and indie pop, with sounds that are old, new and in between.
