ANTHONY DE MARE, piano

“Missing Peace:

Artists Consider the Dalai Lama”

Friday, February 13th, 8pm ♥ University Theatre

$32 General; $30 UCR Staff, Faculty, Alumni, and Senior; $16 Student

 

Originally presented in June 2007 on the series Concerts of Impermanence at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York, Anthony de Mare has created an eclectic program of works chosen in response to the current exhibition, The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama, traveling to museums around the globe over the next several years. 

 

Missing Peace offers a compelling series of musical tableaux including works that best reflect the Dalai Lama’s aesthetics of compassion, impermanence, peace and unity of all things. The program features the performer’s signature style of multi-disciplinary performance and includes a selection of corresponding visual works from the exhibition, carefully chosen by Mr. de Mare for projection during the concert. 

 

The program includes James Mobberley’s “Missing Peace” (written for this project), in addition to several movements from Mobberley’s Phenomena (a Fromm Foundation commission); a piano-vocal adaptations of Laurie Anderson’s “Statue of Liberty” (from Life on a String, 2001) and Meredith Monk’s “urban march-shadow” (from her acclaimed collaboration with Ann Hamilton, mercy , 2001), in addition to Anthony Davis’ Middle Passage, Giacinto Scelsi’s Suite No. 9 “Ttai” (1953) and works by J.S. Bach and Debussy. 

 

De Mare specializes in new music, often with a theatrical twist, and is best known for his extraordinary pianism, vocal-showman talents, rhythmic flexibility, and great imagination of sound.  A native of Rochester, N.Y., he is a graduate of Manhattan School of Music and the University of Buffalo. His teachers include Yvar Mikhashoff, Isabelle Yalkovsky Byman, Leo Smit, and Paul Jacobs. He currently is on the faculties of Manhattan School of Music, Sarah Lawrence College and New York University.
