YEAR-END BENEFIT SHOW!

Matt Ingalls + SFSOUND +
OAKLAND REDUCTIONIST ORCHESTRA
with SPECIAL GUESTS!

A special evening supporting the WEST OAKLAND SOUND SERIES, featuring a solo performance and a structure for orchestra by composer and clarinetist Matt Ingalls. Ingalls performs his 30-minute continuous micro-timbre clarinet solo, an improvisatory composition honed over a decade. A physical tour-de-force, the piece utilizes circular breathing to explore the outer limits of the instrument. Exploring extended techniques that interact with the acoustic space, he often acoustically synthesizes difference tones that are perceived to originate inside the listener's ear.

The second half features the premiere of a large-scale structure for improvising orchestra, bringing together some of the Bay Area’s most distinguished musicians. Members of SFSOUND, the OAKLAND REDUCTIONIST ORCHESTRA, and other heavyweights of the local improv scene spontaneously construct textures from the microscopic to the fully immersive.

Ticket sales will support the continued programming of the WEST OAKLAND SOUND SERIES, as well as the continued maintenance and insurance costs of our magnificent Bösendorfer piano. Additional (tax-deductible) donations can be made here: https://givebutter.com/3NMLhc
