AC Institute presents ALTERNATE CURRENTS, the new
Experimental Music Program
Curated by Hans Tammen
Thursday , March 31 at  7 PM
Featuring ROBERT DICK
Admission: $20
AC-Institute is proud to present virtuoso flutist ROBERT DICK as part of its
new Experimental Music series ALTERNATE CURRENTS. With equally deep roots in
classical music old and new and in free improvisation and new jazz, Robert Dick
has established himself as an artist who has not only mastered the flute, he
has redefined it and its music. Diverse global audiences have likened his
uncanny solo performances to “the experience of hearing a full orchestra.”
Dick’s sound can be thick chords one instant, then
chromatic percussion, then delicate whispering filigrees, then a display of
surprising power.  His performance includes flute (with his invention, the
Glissando Headjoint®), piccolo, alto flute, and bass flutes in C and F, and the
giant, stand-up contrabass flute.
The program includes original compositions for
flutes, selected from Dick’s thirty years of creating music – repertoire ranges
from the now classic Afterlight, to
the science fiction scenario of IF for
amplified bass flute in F, to the performance art combination of poetry and
acting with flute performance of [email protected].
