Cary Boyce and Steve Reich, ISU 11-22-09

Cary visited with Steve Reich in an open discussion at the 43rd Annual Indiana State University Contemporary Music Festival on November 18th. Interview tapes will be available in January.

Cary’s work Kosmos for SATB chorus, viola, and piano won the 2010 Truman State University/MACRO Analysis Creative Research Organization Composition Competition. This will include a newly commissioned work as well as talks, concerts, and masterclasses at Truman State University in Kirkville, MO in June, and at the MACRO Workshop in Madison, Wisconsin in October.

A “commissioning workshop” was held at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Bloomington on Sunday, November 15th, part of the Met Life/Creative Connections program in tandem with a performance of the cantata for chorus and orchestra, Holy Breath, at the UU Church on December 13, 2009.

Cary received a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission to produce a video based on the Veni Veni Emmanuel (A Christmas Prayer) motet. The work was commissioned and premiered by Nancy Menk and the South Bend Chamber Singers, and performed at Indiana University last year with conductor William Jon Gray.

Shattered Rainbows, a new work for chamber orchestra, premiered with the São Paulo (Brazil) Chamber Orchestra, September 3, 2009.

Cary finished the incidental music for Harp Dreams, a new PBS documentary by Susanne Schwibs about the USA International Harp Competition. Coming soon to a television near you.

American Horizons: The Photographs of Art Sinsabaugh has been nominated for a regional Emmy. Winners will be announced in September.

Cary is listed on the new "My Performance Today" page.

Reflections: A Lenten Special with the Dale Warland Singers played nationally on public radio earlier this spring. It featured Argento, Boyce, Lauridsen, Mahler, Muelheisen, and more.
