A Memorial Tribute: Ingram Marshall
Friday, October 21, 2022 — 7pm — The Greene Space — 44 Charlton Street NYC and LIVE via YouTube
The late American composer Ingram Marshall pioneered the use of tape delay, and later, digital delay, as part of the architecture of a composition. His works often incorporated post-Minimalism, ambient electronic effects, and echoes of Indonesian gamelan music, along with the occasional nod to Beethoven or Sibelius. Many had a dark, nocturnal aspect, which led to the use of his piece “Fog Tropes” in the Martin Scorsese film Shutter Island.
Marshall died this spring at the age of 80, and on October 21, musicians and colleagues will gather to perform some of his electroacoustic works: pianist Timo Andres, guitarist Benjamin Verdery, electric violinist Todd Reynolds, pianist Sarah Cahill, oboist Libby van Cleve, and Metropolis guest conductor Raquel Acevedo Klein with members of Metropolis Ensemble.
Marshall was mentor to Metropolis’ own Timo Andres while at Yale University and brings a unique look into his influences through this special event.
Hosted by John Schaefer. Produced by New Sounds. This concert is made possible in part by the Thendara Foundation.
