Best of Best of 2009

I’ve already said my piece on the best of 2009, but here is an opportunity to present the opinions of others. Over the last month or so, I’ve collected some of the more interesting and relevant “best of” lists, that focus on music likely to be within the AMN scope.

So, welcome to the best of the best of 2009.

Reminder: Los Angeles New Music Ensemble Presents Time, Minimalism, and Electronics This Week

From the Los Angeles New Music Ensemble:

Los Angeles New Music Ensemble-Time, Minimalism, and Electronics

Friday, August 7, 8pm
Santa Monica Art Studios
3026 Airport Avenue, Santa Monica CA
$5 students, $10 adult
Website: LosAngelesNME.org
Phone: 505 270 4965

Program info:
This summer the Los Angeles New Music Ensemble is proud to present a summer series based on time, minimalism, and electronics. The program is centered around Terry Riley’s masterpiece of the minimalist movement, In C. In C has been lauded throughout the world as a seminal work in the history of contemporary music. Yet more importantly, the truly transcendent nature of the piece when heard live is something that we believe should be experienced by everyone. When played with skill, precision, and passion, Terry Riley’s visionary set of 53 musical cues becomes a transformative performance, and it is these attributes that we intend to bring to Southern California this summer.

We are also pleased to present two pieces especially commissioned for this series by Patrick Conlon and Dan Formidoni, and two older works by Evan Ziporyn and Dr. Marvin Lamb.
