Performances by Jacob Wick and Katherine Young
Part 3 of 3

omposer and bassoonist Katherine Young creates acoustic and electro-acoustic music that uses curious timbres, expressive noises, and kinetic structures to explore suspended time, genre fiction, the communication of ensemble energies, and the tension between the familiar and the strange. Anthony Tommasini in the New York Times described Katherine's Inside UFO 53-32, as performed by the Flux Quartet, as a "raw, wailing, coloristic piece" with an "organic sweep."

In 2010 Katherine composed music for choreographer Daria Fain's piece TARGET: Furnace, which premiered at Dance New Amsterdam, and she received the Emerging Artists Commission from Issue Project Room, premiering a new work for mixed ensemble and TimeTable percussion trio. A commission for the String Orchestra of Brooklyn will be performed in March 2011.
