This evening features Resident Composer Howard Wiley & The Angola Project, a 10-piece ensemble that takes raw musical forms such as blues, field shouts, hollers, gospel, and spirituals as both conceptual and inspirational foundation. Wiley will be presenting works-in-progress from a new suite to premiere at Intersection in early 2008 entitled "Twelve Gates to the City," A Meet the Composer Commissioning Music/USA commission. This new suite combines trained, refined musical tones with coarse, raw musical textures and blends classical instrumentation and musical articulation with voicings inspired directly from communities of untrained and largely unrecognized musicians.
