[UC-ODDMUSIC] Aron Kallay: "Beyond Twelve" piano recital this Saturday

[Jacob Barton]

Friends,

Virtuoso pianist Aron Kallay is coming to Champaign this Saturday with a
program of microtonal works he commissioned. The piano will never be the
same again?! Please help to spread the word!

Beyond Twelve 2012 Concert Tour: reinventing the piano
presented in the Midwest by UnTwelve (http://untwelve.org)
Aron Kallay, piano (http://aronkallay.com)

For nearly two hundred years the piano’s design has been exactly the same:
12 keys/7 times, low-to-high/left-to-right.  Period.  But why 12...?  Why
left-to-right...?  What if......

Beyond Twelve is a project that uses state-of-the-art physical modeling
technology to break free from the constraints of this design. Concert
pianist and MicroFest assistant director Aron Kallay commissioned new works
from eight of America’s most imaginative composers, with two ground rules:
1) Re-tune the keyboard, from extended just intonation to 88
equal-divisions of the octave and everything in between.  2) Re-map the
keyboard, left can be right, high can be low; pitches need not be linear.

The concerts feature these inventive and visionary new works by Isaac
Schankler, Brian Shepard, Kyle Gann, Aaron K. Johnson, Jason Heath, John
Schneider, Vera Ivanova, and Tom Flaherty.
