Sacramento’s modern chamber ensemble Citywater is excited to be making their C4NM debut! Currently Ensemble-in-Residence at CSU-Sacramento, Citywater has been hailed as “a top-flight interpreter of contemporary classical music” (Sacramento Bee) and is in their 7th year of performance. This concert will feature a series of world premieres for sextet, including works by Garrett Shatzer and Nick Deyoe.
citywatermusic.comGarrett Shatzer will be composing a piece that will see Citywater joined by blues guitarist Greg Glazner and jazz/gospel vocalist David Saul Lee. Glazner — a Walt Whitman Award-winning poet whose work has been published in numerous leading publications, including POETRY and Ploughshares — is writing a text specifically for this work. The text remodels the traditional blues lyric in a contemporary poetry setting, and the music will similarly remodel the blues in a contemporary classical setting.
Cost: $15 General, $10 Members
