Kurt Rohde’s Farewell Tour – PART 1
Kurt Rohde, Violist May 2018 Jared Redmond, piano Kurt Rohde, viola Violist and composer Kurt Rohde has commissioned six new pieces, which he will perform in May 2018 in Davis, Sacramento, Berkeley, and San Francisco. This is the first year of a multi-year commissioning project, that is modeled after Cher’s decades long Farewell Tours, Kurt Rohde’s Farewell Tour—Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6—commissions new works by the most gifted composers that Rohde feels are underrepresented and deserve a wider audience, while also broadening the repertoire for viola. The project’s anticipated year of completion is 2028, at which time Mr. Rohde will retirefrom playing in performance and donate his instrument to “some talented whipper-snapper who wants to play viola.” PROGRAM – World Premiere Performances Martha Horst, Hammer for viola and piano Jared Redmond, Tongues of Angels for viola and piano Carl Schimmel, Contemplation on Vanessa in the Boneset for viola and piano Ramteen Sazegari, Counterpane for amplified solo viola Laura Schwendinger, Three Movements for solo viola Mark Winges, The Contemplation of Unknown Islands for viola and piano PERFORMANCES May 17, 12:05–1 pm, Davis (partial program)University of California, Davishttp://arts.ucdavis.edu/event/kurt-rohdes-farewell-tour-part-1Ann E.

 My first work for saxophone ensemble (!) will be premiered at the North American Saxophone Biennial Conference in Cincinnati this March in Cincinnati. The family might have to make a road trip to get some Grady's ice cream!
 The wonderful Tuyen Tonnu and Xiaorui Chu will be playing my work Gemini for two pianos in mainland China in 2018. Also will be performing it at the RedNote New Music Festival in March, 2018. The work is comprised solely of intertwining 5th cycles. They are working hard to make this piece of music come alive!
 Very excited that our fabulous new wind ensemble director Tony Marinello will premiere Who Has Seen the Wind? for large wind ensemble at Illinois State University's RedNote New Music Festival on March 26th. I wrote this work while in Helsinki and have been dreaming of hearing it ever since. Details to follow!
My work for Straussian Landscapes for wind ensemble, which was premiered by Symphony Number One after winning their Call for Scores competition, was released by their SNO label on November 3, 2017. For more information, visit: https://symphonynumber.one/approaching  After a great premiere of my new work Tidal Rhythms in Illinois and a subsequent performance at the University of Louisville, I am thrilled to announce that Tidal Rhythms will be played in Paraguay and Brazil in June/July 2018.
