Artist-in-Residence Nate Wooley with MIVOS Quartet + Nate Wooley / Peter Evans Duo
Trumpet player and 2011 Artist-in-ResidenceNate Wooley will premiere "Atemwende" by Yugoslavian born composer Bojan Vuletic, in a performance with the MIVOS string quartet. Following this premiere performance, Nate Wooley &; Peter Evans will celebrate the release of their new amplified trumpet duo record on Carrier Records and Dead CEO.
Nate Wooley (b. 1974) was raised in Clatskanie, Oregon, a small fishing and lumber town on the Columbia River. He began playing trumpet professionally with his father at age 12. After college in Eugene, Oregon and Denver, Colorado he moved to Jersey City, NJ, where he currently resides. Since 2001 he has become a much sought after performer, composer, and improvisor, working with Anthony Braxton, Evan Parker, John Zorn, Christian Marclay, C. Spencer Yeh, and David Grubbs among others. His trumpet playing has been called "exquisitely hostile" by Italy's Touching Extremes Magazine, and his solo performances and recordings have been numbered amongst a privileged handful that have helped to shape a new approach to the instrument.
The MIVOS quartet, recently praised by Time Out New York as an "excellent ensemble", is devoted to performing the works of contemporary composers, presenting new music to diverse audiences. Since the quartet's inception they have performed and closely collaborated with an ever-expanding cadre of international composers who represent multiple aesthetics of contemporary classical composition.
Commissioning and premiering new music for string quartet is essential to the quartet's mission; MIVOS has performed works by emerging and established composers including Kirsten Broberg, Juan Calderon, Anna Clyne, Luke DuBois, Wayne Horvitz, Sam Pluta, Wolfgang Rihm and Huang Ruo. They have appeared at venues including The Stone, Issue Project Room, The Tank NYC, Monkeytown, CUNY Graduate Center, Galapagos Art Space, Roulette and the Brecht forum, and were featured performers for the 2008 American Music Center Annual Meeting at the Chelsea Art Museum.
Bojan Vuletic, a Yugoslavian born composer living in Dusseldorf, Germany, will be making his U.S. debut with a piece written specifically for artist-in-residence Nate Wooley and the MIVOS string quartet. Based on poetry by Paul Celan, "Atemwende" of Breath Turn uses Wooley's specific sound language in combination with contemporary classical forms and techniques to create an expansive 10 movement, epic chamber piece.
