EXTRADITION PLAYS CORNER: A Philip Corner Festival (sound walk)
Free
Composer Philip Corner (b. 1933) is one of the greats of 20th- and 21st-century experimental music. Active since the late 1950s, he's composed thousands of works exploring the intersection of the classical tradition, post–John Cage experimentalism, and the impulse to forge true creative collaboration between composer and performer.
From January 21 to February 18, Portland's Extradition Ensemble will present five consecutive Saturday concerts of Corner's music. Concert 3 of 5 presents a free sound walk exploring Corner's impulse to appreciate every "piece of reality" as a work of art in its own right.
Led by Extradition's Matt Hannafin, the walk will follow the simple format of walks Corner began conducting in New York in 1966 and later expanded on in his 1980 book I Can Walk Through the World as Music.
Participants meet between 7:15pm and 7:30pm at the Trio sculpture, a 2013 art installation by Elizabeth Conner located across from the SW Lincoln St. / 3rd Ave. MAX Orange Line station, on SW Lincoln St. just east of SW 4th Ave. Look for the Extradition sign.
