ONE-TIME ONLY
WORKSHOP/PERFORMANCE

(Admission: Free)
Calit2 Theater, Atkinson Hall
THURSDAY NIGHT'S EVENT will provide the UCSD and Calit2 communities
with an insider's view of the continuing development of
"Sanctuary", which premiered last fall at the National Gallery of
Art. Sections of the three-movement work will be performed by the
UCSD graduate ensemble red fish blue fish, and commentary will be
provided by the composer, Roger Reynolds, and UCSD music professor
Steven Schick, who co-commissioned the work. Reynolds is the
Composer in Residence for the UCSD Division of Calit2.
In February, Calit2 staged a one-time-only screening of the world
premiere performance of "Sanctuary" at the National Gallery, shot
in high-definition video. The composer will talk about the
evolution of the work since the premiere, and current plans to
stage the full three movements publicly for only the second time
next fall in the courtyard of the Louis Kahn-designed Salk Institute.
