The Brooklyn College
Conservatory of Music Presents
After The Silence:
The Art of Improvisation
Featuring Jenny
Lin and Elliot Sharp
Jenny Lin is one of
the most respected young pianists today,
admired for her adventurous programming
and charismatic stage presence. Her
ability to combine classical and
contemporary literature has brought her
to the attention of international
critics and audiences. She has been
acclaimed for her "remarkable technical
command" and "a gift for melodic flow"
by The New York Times. The Washington
Post praises "Lins confident fingers...
spectacular technique..." and Gramophone
Magazine has hailed her as "an
exceptionally sensitive pianist". Martha
Argerich wrote: "Miss Jenny Lin is a
very gifted young musician and a
brilliant pianist ."
A familiar face in New York's downtown
music scene for almost three decades,
the Ober-eclectic Elliott Sharp has
released nearly a hundred albums,
ranging from suites of solo-acoustic
guitar improvisations to full-scale
orchestral works. Sharp studied with
master composers such as Benjamin Boretz,
Roswell Rudd, Lejaren Hiller,
and Morton Feldman while attending
Cornell, Bard College, and the
University of Buffalo, but he
simultaneously indulged his fascination
with physics and other sciences-which
arguably affected his artistic aesthetic
as much as his formal compositional
studies. Sharp's "extreme science nerd"
bent has led to everything from building
his own effects pedals to extrapolating
guitar tunings from the Fibonacci series
of numbers to being an early-adopter of
computer-based composition and effects
processing.

The
Brooklyn College
Conservatory of Music
presents
Handel's
Radamisto
with the Brooklyn College Opera Theater
Richard Barrett, Director.
Radamisto is an opera in three acts
by George Frideric Handel to an Italian
libretto by Nicola Francesco Haym, based on
L'amor tirranico, o Zenobia by Domenico
Lalli and Zenobia by Matteo Noris. It was
Handel's first opera for the Royal Academy
of Music.
It was first performed at the King's
Theatre, London on 27 April 1720 and was
judged to be a success, resulting in 10
further performances. A revised version with
different singers was written for a revival
on 28 December 1720. More revisions followed
for yet another version presented in 1721
and again for further revival in 1728. It
was also given in Hamburg. The first modern
performance was in Göttingen on 27 June
1927.

The Art of Improvisation
Featuring Kathleen Supové
Kathleen Supové is one of America's most

She has appeared with The Lincoln Center
Festival, The Philip Glass Ensemble, Bang On
a Can Marathon, Music at the Anthology,
Composers' Collaborative, Inc., and at many
other venues, ranging from concert halls
such as Carnegie to theatrical spaces such

currently an artist-in-residence at
The Flea Theater in NYC, where she
regularly presents her newest Exploding
