PETER EVANS
Peter Evans presents his improvisations for solo trumpet, which seek to fill the instrument with information, watch it expand, and finally "break apart.” Formal influences include the ubiquitous, magical, seemingly irrational world of digital media (the glitch, the loop, the shuffle,) and a fascination with joke and story telling. As a trumpeter, improviser, and composer, Evans’s collaborators include James Dillon, George Lewis, Francis-Marie Uitti, Ursula Oppens and many others. Recent projects have included American premieres of music by Brian Ferneyhough, a collaboration at the Bowery Ballroom with the math-rock band, Hella, and performances with Moppa Eliott's terrorist bebop band, Mostly Other People do the Killing. Peter also plays with contemporary music groups Alarm Will Sound, the International Contemporary Ensemble, and Ensemble 21.

GLENDA GOODMAN
Glenda Goodman performs solo viola works by Salvatore Sciarrino and Giacinto Scelsi, which push the sonic expectations of the traditionally middle-ranged, mellow-voiced instrument, creating fleetingly beautiful soundscapes that are devilishly difficult to execute but highly stimulating to hear. Goodman has a multi-faceted track record as a violist. The creation and performance of new music is her top priority, and to this end she has collaborated frequently with composers to generate new works for viola, and regularly performs as an improviser. She has collaborated with video artist/composer team King/Diaz de Leon, performs in Walter Thompson’s Soundpainting Orchestra, and plays Persian music with Iranian musician Hafez Nazeri. Classically trained, she recently was awarded a Jacob Javits Fellowship for graduate study in viola at Juillard.

Also, VICTROLOPHONE (Glenda’s and Peter’s duo,) will be performing ghostly, sentimental versions of old songs learned from Johnny Cash records, mix-tapes and cloudy memories.
