Karis Plays Late Feldman
Morton Feldman
Pianist Aleck Karis presents a one-night-only concert dedicated to the musical landscape of the iconoclastic composer Morton Feldman. Often overlooked, Feldman was an important figure in the avant-garde music scene of the 1950s. As an extension of Karis’s latest album Morgan Feldman’s Late Works (Bridge Records), this performance casts the composer in a fresh light by showcasing music written by Feldman’s teacher of 35 years, Stefan Wolpe, as well as Wolpe’s teacher, Anton Webern.
