Keep on pushing us, as listeners, creatively.
Congratulations to Dave Bozenhard on this first (of many more, I hope) presentation of his work with Red Cedar. I personally love music that works “between spaces” of genres.
“A lovely, bracing change of pace! I so appreciate the breadth (and depth) of Red Cedar programs – from Continental, to American Folkloric, to tonight’s offering. Makin’ Music with Dave WhirlPoolside (fl, vc, 2gtr)ĭuo for classical and steel string guitars Classical works by Franz Schubert (Arpeggione Sonate) and Bartok (Romanian Dances) provide the backdrop for Dave’s exciting new sounds! Dave’s quartet for electric guitar, classical guitar, flute and cello and his duet for steel string and classical guitars blend his eclectic styles into a memorable classical/pop fusion. Multifaceted guitarist and composer Dave Bozenhard, known in Philadelphia as the go-to guy for jazz, rock and classical, has written two new compositions for Red Cedar Chamber Music. Jan Boland (flute) _ John Dowdall (guitar) _ Carey Bostian (cello) _ Dave Bozenhard (guitars) John Dowdall, Carey Bostian, Jan Boland, Dave Bozenhard. “I have never seen an audience so moved by a performance of my work which, I believe, was triggered by the brilliance of Red Cedars performance and the drama of the poem as well as the composition.” Stephen Cohn, composer. “They are a gem of chamber music excellence and passion who have carved out a unique and prominent artistic profile in Iowa.” S.C. A real treasure! Red Cedar continues to do itself and its audiences proud.” E.M. “I saw how affecting the presentation was – people laughing, pondering silently, even shedding a few tears at the poignancy of the childhood pieces. This music, these evenings, are good for my soul.” The work by Stephen Cohn left me speechless.” E.D. I never thought I’d ever enjoy music as much as I did tonight.

Partners in the project include the Ainsworth Opera House and Special Collections at the University of Iowa.
Artists sponsorship comes from Juanita Dennert, and Don & Irene (Naxera) Hamous and Vic & Jan Naxera in memory of Max Naxera. This project is supported, in part, by the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Features images not viewed for over 100-years. New music by composers from coast to coast (Stephen Cohn, Philip Wharton and Iowa’s own Michael Kimber) was written especially for this project. Our slides, from the collection of Iowa historian Michael Zahs, are set to chamber music and tell stories – some fanciful ( The Tiger and the Tub), some dramatic ( Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight) and some with heart-on-sleeve sentimentality ( There’s Another Picture in my Mamma’s Frame). These precursors of silent film can give the illusion of movement while entertaining and educating.

Brought me to tears more than once.” M.K. Very obviously you all enjoy playing together, and listening and enjoying when just listening t each others parts.” B.T. Venetian Boat Song (flute, vln, cello gtr) Program: Mostly Folk-Inspired Hungarian Trio (flute, cello & guitar) Composers understand this – and when they draw from this rich tradition, wonderful ‘serious’ music happens! Works by Geminiani, Beaser and Kolosko revel in the dynamic rhythms and poignant melodies of Klezmer, Hungarian, Celtic and Appalachian music.
