CARNEGIE HILL CONCERTS PRESENTS: BETHANY YOUNGE'S FLESH

I’ll perform music that incorporates voice and movement by composer Bethany Younge.

Lucie Vítková, Musical Body

Charlotte Mundy, Musical Body

Sugar Vendil, Musical Body

Bethany Younge, Soprano, Musical Body, Electronics

Pauline Kim Harris, Violin

Flesh is a culmination of some of Younge's most recent artistic adventures involving the expressive limits of the human body as well as the "fleshing," or animation, of non-human bodies (i.e. instruments and objects). Voices, extreme physical gestures, percussive violin-playing, and electronics contribute to a musical landscape that is at once futuristic and atavistic. Integral to each composition is Younge's highly personalized performance practice.

//Atavist I. for three musical bodies + electronics

//Atavist II. for four musical bodies + electronics

(Lucie, Sugar, Charlotte and Bethany)
