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.
