This season is the “Year of Surreality” for Cleveland’s No Exit New Music, and in collaboration they’ll be presenting a program called Piano Dada, a tip of the hat to Surrealism’s precursor.
This program includes piano music first presented at the 1920 Festival Dada and the 1923 Soirée du Coeur à Barbe, with many pieces written by artists associated with the Dadaist movement such as Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia and Elt Mesens, as well as a new experimental work inspired by the Dadaist, written by New Exit’s own Luke Rinderknecht. The concert will feature films of key Dadaist poet/performer Tristan Tzara and No Exit performing Hugo Ball’s poem “Karawane” and live renditions of a new series of sound poems, plus pieces by Erik Satie, Igor Stravinsky, Darius Milhaud and Georges Auric, all contemporaries of the Dadaists.
They’ll perform at Cleveland State University’s Drinko Hall on March 8, at the BOP STOP on March 9, at Kent State University’s Ludwig Recital Hall on March 15 and at Heights Arts on March 16.
No Exit’s concerts are always free and open to all. Go to noexitnewmusic.com for more information.
