Roger Zahab will perform Benjamin Britten, Akin Euba, Elizabeth Maconchy, Jeffrey Nytch, and himself.
Must see TeeVee! Jess Hohman videotaped an extensive interview with Roger Zahab at Pitt’s Music building, in anticipation of entelechron’s all-Cage concert at The Andy Warhol Museum on March 5. The interview happened over two days, and on the first, the fire alarms went off and everyone had to clear out of the building. But it was an unusually nice day, so Jess and Roger continued the interview outside while the rest of us milled around wondering what to do next. Jess worked some of the outdoor sounds in throughout the video, and I suspect Cage would have enjoyed this very much.

Tonight you can hear two of Pittsburgh’s most committed new music advocates, Roger Zahab and Walter Morales, collaborate with the University of Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. First Morales picks up the baton while Zahab solos on violin in the premiere of his new work, vioentelechron. Then Morales will, literally, pass the baton to Zahab and sit down at the piano for a performance of Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 1. The concert is free and takes place at Bellefield Hall Auditorium at 8 p.m.
