Creative Music Guild and Second Story Studios Present... Counterpoint Workshop with Judith Berkson Sunday, October 25, 12-3 pm Second Story Studios (NE PDX) *Address revealed after RSVP $60 (sliding scale scholarships available--see application link above!) __ Judith Berkson is a composer, vocalist, and pianist. Her research centers around tuning and microtonality as they relate to memory and perception, exploring the small spaces between similarity and difference. She cites influences ranging from cantorial chant to jazz standards, and lieder from composers such as Schubert and Schumann. Her music offers a contemplative, spare space for the reworking of traditional structures within contemporary sonic modes and techniques. Collaborations have included work with Kronos Quartet, Laurie Anderson, JACK Quartet, Vijay Iyer, Alvin Lucier, Mivos Quartet, Wet Ink and Yarn/Wire. Recordings on ECM Records, Fresh Sound, Pi, and Notice Recordings. Film music presented at Venice Biennale, SXSW and Outfest LA. Festival appearances: Angel City Jazz Festival, Picasso Museum Malaga, National Sawdust, Women from Space Festival, and Bang on a Can. ___ If you have any further questions, please reach out to us via IG @__secondstorystudios___ or email secondstorypdx@gmail.com Thank you!!
