Robert Dick is an extraordinary flutist, composer, teacher, and author
known for his innovative musical style. A unique blend of classical, world
music, electronic, and jazz genres characterizes his music. In 2014, the
National Flute Association honored Dick with its prestigious Lifetime
Achievement Award, recognizing his exceptional contributions to the world
of music. The New York Times has lauded him, stating that his "technical
resources and imagination seem limitless," while JazzTimes hailed him as
"revolutionary." Robert Dick continues to inspire and innovate, leaving an
indelible mark on the world of music.

A pioneering figure in the world of music, Robert Dick revolutionized flute
playing with his invention of the "glissando headjoint." This innovative
custom flute modification allows players to achieve effects reminiscent of
the whammy bar on an electric guitar.

During his time at Yale, Robert wrote his first book, "THE OTHER FLUTE: A
Performance Manual of Contemporary Techniques," showcasing his deep
understanding and passion for contemporary music. His dedication led him to
earn a master's degree in composition, studying with esteemed figures such
as Morris, Bulant Arel, and Jacob Druckman. Robert Dick's contributions
have undoubtedly reshaped the possibilities of flute performance and
composition, cementing his legacy as a true trailblazer in the world of
music.

On Saturday, November 9th, 2024 at 5:30pm, Composers Concordance, in
association with Vox Novus, presents 'Andrew White - Baritone &
Electronics'. The program features trailblazing new compositions, including
Ed Martin's 'The Future,' Carlotta Ferrari's 'Requiem,' Ronen Shai's
'Spark,' and Gene Pritsker's 'I Knew A Woman, from Poetic Subjects
Eternal,' plus music by Dan Cooper, Burton Goldstein, and Robert Voisey.

A champion of Art Song and contemporary music, Andrew White has
distinguished himself in recitals of French mélodie, Lieder, and
contemporary American art song, including numerous premiere performances.
He was selected to participate in the Cleveland Art Song Festival six
times, appearing as a featured artist on the 1996 festival. He won the VARN
competition in 1997 and was First Prize winner of the 1995 Richardson
Awards Vocal Competition. While he was a student, Andrew White was granted
a full scholarship to study in Switzerland with Gerard Souzay and Dalton
Baldwin. In 1995, he made his New York recital debut in Weill Recital Hall
of Carnegie Hall in a program devoted to the songs of Cleveland composer
Frederick Koch. One review hailed him as "... a formidable interpreter ...
Every song composer should be so lucky with collaborators."

The concert will also be live-streamed on Composers Concordance's Facebook
Page.

Call for Scores
Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame featuring violinist Orest Smovzh

Vox Novus is calling for one-minute pieces composed for solo violin.
Selected works will be premiered for Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with violinist
Orest Smovzh. The performance will happen online in the beginning of 2025.

The theme to this Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame is for anything relating to punk
music. For Orest Smovzh, the possibility of short works resonates with the
raw simplicity of earlier punk and no wave music (the late 70s early 80s),
also some later noise music (specifically Japanese of the 90s). He often
describes these pieces as works that "resist elaboration, compress
dramaturgy, or freeze in a brief moment". Orest also usually calls them
"condensed music"

To summarize:
1) Punk rock inspiration
2) Condensed pieces that compress everything the composer wants to do in
one minute.

Only works one-minute in length for violin will be considered. Deadline for
works is December 6th, 2024
