Reduce: Orchestral reductions for IonSound November 1, 2009

As the group heads into the second year of its residency with the University of Pittsburgh, IonSound will kick off the season at Bellefield Auditorium on Sunday, November 1st, 2009 at 7 pm with Reduce, a program featuring an original work by Pittsburgh film director and video artist Chris Ivey. The program celebrates musical reductions of larger works including Maurice Ravel's Mother Goose Suite, Pittsburgher Philip Thompson's Percussion Concerto, and Gustav Mahler's Kindertotenlieder. For this concert IonSound is thrilled to welcome back Daphne Alderson, whose rich contralto voice shines in this moving work by Mahler.

Tickets are $8.50 general admission, $5 for students and seniors when purchased in advance through ProArts (www.proartstickets.org), and can be purchased at the door for $15/10. For more information and concert updates please visit www.ionsound.org.
