New Music and Jazz at Scandinavia House

Aventa New Music Society Moonlit:

Contemporary Music from Denmark

Monday, March 5, 7:30 pm

It is estimated that at least one new Danish work is premiered every day—a striking number reflecting the increasing specialization of young musicians in new music and the fertile interaction between composers and musicians in that country. The motley contemporary music scene in Denmark is characterized by diverse influences and inspired both by important Danish composer personalities and the international music scene. Many of today's Danish composers have their aesthetic roots in the so-called “new simplicity” movement, a Danish brand of minimalism that arose well before this term became an internationally known musical concept.

At Scandinavia House Aventa New Music Society, Canada’s leading new music ensemble, will perform an all-Danish program with works by some of the today’s most interesting Danish composers, featuring Bent Sørensen’s The Weeping White Room, Klaus Ib Jøregensen’s Moon-pain, Hans Abrahamsen’s Six Pieces, Per Nørgård’s Wenn die Rose sich selbst schmückt…, and Poul Ruders’s Abysm. The Aventa New Music Society is under the artistic direction of Bill Linwood and comprised of approximately 15 musicians.

Tickets: $15 ($12 ASF members & students).

For reservations call (212) 847-9740.

Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in New York, is located at:

Rubin with Hargrove's Big Band!

Jazz Guitarist, Saul Rubin, has been a New York city fixture for years playing with some of the legends of the music. The album / CD cover displayed on the Left here, represents his latest work as it now hits the wider record / CD market nationally. Here Rubin is the leader of this remarkable gathering of Jazz notables which include Montez Coleman, on Drums; Gerald Cannon, on Bass; and the ledgendary and, sadly, late John Hicks, on Piano. This session may well be one of Hick's last recorded output. This recording? It is a lovely album with four out of the seven tracks compositions penned by Rubin himself. Rubin is known mostly in Jazz circles as a reliable studio and session man, who lays down amazing licks with precision. He's doing it again for the next few weeks at the Jazz Gallery, with Trumpeter Roy Grove's Big Band.

The Jazz Gallery is that little-known center of Jazz Art and photos which doubles as an intimate performance space on the western edge of Soho in New York City. Do check out Saul Rubin's new CD and make it a point to see him in performance with the Hargrove band.
The Roy Hargrove Big Band can be seen Tuesday evenings at the Jazz Gallery on the following dates. February 20th, February 27th and March 6th. There are two sets each night. 9 pm and 10:30 pm Don't miss it.
