Come experience the visions of spring through the music of Messiaen, Crumb and Heggie – and featuring music by Seattle composers, David Duvall and Don Skirvin. The music in this concert evokes images of birdsong, rustling leaves, moonlight and the spring-like weather we crave! Performed by soprano Natalie Lerch and pianist Guinevere Saenger.

Jay Hamilton & the Turtling Dithers ( Maurice Colasurdo, Roger Nelson, Paul Karaitis). Who are you, and how do you know? explores how we perceive ourselves, how we think we are perceived, and how we are remembered. The piece is in three sections: the Overture sets out some ideas about this; Lir, based on a story in Brut by a secular English priest circa 1200, is about building an empire to be remembered. Enkidu, from Gilgamesh legend, is about how even shards can keep us remembered thousands of years later.

Improvisations and compositions by Clifford Dunn, flute and electronics; Anne LaBerge, flute; Lisa Miller, piano; with guests Tom Baker, guitar and Jessika Kenney, voice.
