The June 3 Serial Underground 2011/12 season closer marks
ComposersCollaborative, inc.'s artistic director Jed Distler's final
appearance as host and curator for this long running series. For the first
time, CCi teams up with the innovative New York new music group Composers
Concordance for an evening of piano premiers performed on Jed's own Yamaha
grand, on extended loan to the Cornelia Street Café since 2009. Many of the
selections will be played by the composers themselves. Guest pianists
include Julia Den Boer, Melody Fader, and Taka Kigawa.

New works from Composers Concordance directors Joseph Pehrson, Milica
Paranosic, Gene Pritsker and Dan Cooper will be showcased, along with pieces
by composers Patrick Grant, Dan Palkowski, Peter Jarvis, plus a sneak
preview from CCi Artistic Director Jed Distler's long-awaited piano cycle
"counterrevolution." The program culminates in the world premier of a unique
composition for one piano eight pianists by Gene Pritsker.

"For years I've admired the imaginative programming ideas, creative energy
and generous spirit that my Composers Concordance colleagues bring to our
new music community," Jed commented, "and I am excited that we get to join
forces to co-produce an evening of new piano music. I began CCi with
intimately scaled piano events back in the early 1990s, and it seems totally
fitting to go back to my roots as I conclude my Serial Underground curating
stint."

Admission: $20 at the door, includes $10 drink/food credit. Cash only.
