Eclectic Series: 'LIKE A FISH OUT OF TROUBLED WATER' / Music for Piano, Haken Continuum, & Theremin* / Rob Schwimmer

• Rob Schwimmer, piano, Haken Continuum, & theremin (depending on the weather)

Note from the performer: "I’m thrilled to be back at Bargemusic! There’ll be new music for each of the mentioned instruments + possibly a special guest(?)

"In addition to originals the show may contain selections from A to Z! Arlen to Zemlinsky! Selections will be announced from the stage.

"Also I may finally get to play Frederic Rzewski's No Place to Go But Around, which I was scheduled for at the Rzewski Festival at Merkin earlier this year, but an injury prevented that from happening… so now may be the time! It's a great early piece written right before his epic The People United.

"A note re the title – The 'troubled water' refers to trying to play theremin in a moving room, an idea which could be characterized as heroic or just a very bad idea depending on how rough it is on the performance night… We shall see."
