Progressive Chamber Music Festival (Day 1)
2023-10-13 19:00 (America/New_York) | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Sirius Quartet Presents: The 2023 Progressive Chamber Music Festival
The 8th annual Progressive Chamber Music Festival, curated by the Sirius Quartet, features 6 such ensembles, each with unique identities and a shared desire to define chamber music on their own terms. From NYC heavyweights such as pianist Matthew Shipp and Shoko Nagai, to up-and-coming torch bearers like Jake Charkey and TreeSearch, the festival will put NYC’s vibrant and eclectic music scene on full display. These are chamber music ensembles of the 21st century, not defined by genre, nor limited by the distinction between concert and popular music, and blurring the lines between performer, composer, and improviser. This is progressive chamber music.

Reflections on Sound & Spirit(s)
2023-11-02 20:00 - 21:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
The innovative Reflections in Music series is back, with artistic director Bruce Wolosoff and a group of all-star musicians inviting audiences on a soul-stirring journey through classical music with Sound & Spirit(s).
This program promises an exploration of sacred (and perhaps a touch of not-so-sacred) musical realms, featuring composer and pianist Bruce Wolosoff, violinist Michelle Ross, and cellist Clarice Jensen performing music by Arvo Pärt, Eric Satie, and Olivier Messiaen. What makes this program even more extraordinary is that the performers are all accomplished composers themselves and will be performing their own compositions in addition to the classics.
A highlight of the evening will be the world premiere of a A Piano and a Cello Walk into a Bar, a new concert work by distinguished film composer Carter Burwell.
Reflections is a 501(c)3 nonprofit which hopes to bring the appreciation of classical music to new audiences and to spark new ways of thinking about and engaging with the classical music experience to those who are already music lovers.

Artist Bios:
Bruce Wolosoff
“Bruce Wolosoff is a formidable pianist and composer” (Gramophone) who has been lauded as “an authentic American voice” for his integration of classical, jazz, blues, and contemporary influences. Recent projects include the solo piano album “Memento” on Avie Records, which is currently in rotation on radios stations throughout the world. “Paradise Found,” a recent album of Wolosoff’s music for cello and piano that he recorded with cellist Sara Sant’Ambrogio was a Billboard Top 10 bestselling classical album. Wolosoff has recently completed a double concerto “At the Still Point of the Turning World” for violinist Michael Guttman and cellist Jing Zhao.
Upon its release in 2018, the Wolosoff concerto for cello & orchestra, performed by Sara Sant’Ambrogio with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Grzegorz Nowak was also a Billboard Top 10 classical album. Critic Jerry Dubins of Fanfare Magazine described the concerto as one of “compelling beauty” that “can be declared an instant masterpiece.” Wolosoff collaborated with the late choreographer Ann Reinking on two award winning ballets, “The White City” and “A Light in the Dark.”
Bruce Wolosoff is the artistic director of Reflections in Music.
Clarice Jensen
Clarice Jensen is a composer and cellist based in Brooklyn, NYC who graduated with a BM and MM from the Juilliard School. As a solo artist, Clarice has developed a distinctive compositional approach, improvising and layering her cello through shifting loops and a chain of electronic effects to open out and explore a series of rich, drone-based sound fields. Pulsing, visceral and full of color, her work is deeply immersive, marked by a wonderful sense of restraint and an almost hallucinatory clarity. Meditative yet with a sculptural sharpness and rigor that sets it apart from the swathe of New Age / DIY droners, she has forged a very elegant and precise vision.
Her music has been described by Self-Titled as “heavily processed, incredibly powerful neo-classical pieces that seem to come straight from another astral plane”; by Boomkat as “languorously void-touching ideas, scaling and sustaining a sublime tension”; whilst Bandcamp remarked upon “a kaleidoscope of pulsing movement rich in acoustic beating and charged with other psychoacoustic effects, constantly shifting in density and viscous timbre.”
Jensen’s striking debut album For This From That Will Be Filled was released in April 2018 on the Berlin-based label Miasmah and followed in September 2019 with the “Drone Studies” EP, a cassette release via Geographic North. Signing to FatCat’s 130701 imprint (Max Richter, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hauschka, Dustin O’Halloran, etc.) in late Summer 2019, her sophomore album The experience of repetition as death was released April 2020. Naming it among the top 50 albums of 2020, NPR remarked “This collection of requiems for a dying mother ranks among the great ambient albums of the 21st century.” Her new album Esthesis was released in October 2022.
Jensen recently scored three feature films – Amber Sealey’s No Man of God premiered at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival; Takeshi Fukunaga’s Ainu Mosir, premiered at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival; Fernanda Valadez’s 2020 Sundance Film Festival award-winner Sin Señas Particulares (Identifying Features), for which Jensen was nominated for a 2021 Ariel Award for Best Original Music by the Mexican Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences.
A versatile collaborator, Jensen has recorded and performed with a host of stellar artists including Jóhann Jóhannsson, Max Richter, Björk, Stars of the Lid, Dustin O’Halloran, Nico Muhly, Taylor Swift, Michael Stipe, the National and many others. In her role as the artistic director of ACME (the American Contemporary Music Ensemble), she has helped bring to life some of the most revered works of modern classical music, including pieces by Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Gavin Bryars, and more.
Michelle Barzel Ross
Michelle Barzel Ross is a violinist, composer, and multi-instrumental improviser. A protege of Itzhak Perlman-turned-multidisciplinary artist, Michelle is known for her debut album, pop-up project and blog Discovering Bach: Complete Sonatas and Partitas of J.S. Bach.  Michelle is featured on Movement 11’ of Jon Batiste’s GRAMMY winning Best Album of the Year: We Are.  Michelle was recently guest 1st violinist with the Juilliard String Quartet for US and European tours. Passionate about expanding the bounds of contemporary music as both a creator and performer, Michelle is a member of Ensemble Échappé, a guest with International Contemporary Ensemble, co-curator of Lucerne Festival Forward and faculty at Lucerne Festival Contemporary. Michelle was recently the soloist in Arvo Pärt’s Fratres with James Blachly and EXO at the Met’s Temple of Dendur celebration of Arvo Pärt.  Collaboration highlights also include Bach Double with Itzhak Perlman, Michael Tilson Thomas and San Francisco Symphony, and Musician from Marlboro tours. Michelle has been guest concertmaster all around the world, such as with Orchestre de Paris, Radio France, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra, and others. Recent compositional highlights include creating an electronic city-wide installation piece for Lucerne Festival. Recent album releases include “The Whale Song,” for cellist Saeunn Thorsteinsdottir, “Haiku,” for cellist Arlen Hlusko, and featured performances on Samuel Adler: Chamber and Instrumental Music. Michelle is the recipient of the 2012 Leonore Annenberg Fellowship Fund, and was recently Artist-in-Residence at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. Michelle holds degrees from the Juilliard School and Columbia University
Carter Burwell
Carter Burwell has composed the music for a number of feature films, including Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Miller’s Crossing, Fargo, Gods and Monsters, Being John Malkovich, Before Night Falls, Adaptation, In Bruges, Twilight, True Grit, Carol, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Tragedy of Macbeth, and The Banshees of Inisherin.  He also composed the music for the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show.

Sculptural Vessels: Recent Work by Jono Pandolfi
2023-11-03 - 2023-12-08 | Greenwich House Pottery, 16 Jones Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Sculptural Vessels: Recent Work by Jono Pandolfi
Opening Reception | November 2, 2023 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
November 3 – December 8, 2023
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by artist and designer Jono Pandolfi. Making his solo debut in New York City, Pandolfi steps away from his dinnerware creations to embark on a journey of experimentation in size and structure.
“For Sculptural Vessels I set out to solve new problems,” said Pandolfi, founder of Jono Pandolfi Designs, the premier dinnerware company for Michelin-starred chefs. “Problems that felt starkly different from the familiar challenges I encounter in the daily rhythm of my manufacturing studio practice.”
Pandolfi expands his creative process by manipulating vessels on a larger scale, often cutting and rearranging sections. For example, he might take a wheel-thrown cylinder, remove central portions and reassemble them to create striking transformations, “for no reason other than an exploration of possibility.”
Born in 1976 in New York City, Jono Pandolfi first discovered an interest in ceramics and sculpture at The Millbrook School, which led him to major in Studio Art at Skidmore College. Pandolfi was introduced to Greenwich House Pottery while teaching ceramics classes at Parsons School of Design, which were held at Greenwich House from 2014 to 2018. After working as a ceramics teacher and a designer, he founded and leads his own company, Jono Pandolfi Designs. The company has grown into a team of 30 artisans who work at a 14,000 square-foot studio in Union City, New Jersey, where they create a variety of pieces for the kitchen and home that embrace the simple, minimalist contrast of glazed and unglazed stoneware.

Replaying the Tape - Jane Boxall
2023-11-11 19:30 - 21:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
“Replay the tape a million times… and I doubt that anything like Homo sapiens would ever evolve again.” — Stephen J Gould
‘Replaying the Tape’ is a collaboration between women practitioners: New-York based composer Dr. Jane Boxall, palaeontologist Dr. Frankie Dunn, and poet Penny Boxall. We will conjure an imaginary menagerie of animals which might have existed had the dice-throw of evolution fallen differently. Jane will compose and premiere new music for tape and live percussionist, which in a performance setting will interweave with the live poetry performance. The tape aspect will include field recordings from Dr. Dunn’s archaeological digs, tape manipulation of found sounds, and excerpts from research and altered samples from the new poetry itself. The live percussion part will have choreographic and visual elements. Penny Boxall will write new poems for the project, and perform these live in concert with me.
Our project will help make palaeontology accessible to a new audience, and writing workshops and legacy recordings make the project truly inclusive. By engaging with cutting-edge research about the ancient origins of animal life, we will make accessible an area which not only suffers from an image problem (palaeontology has long been perceived as an area of science difficult for women to enter, and for the public to engage with), but which is ripe for creative interpretation.
Music and poetry bring the remote closer; this project might enable adults and children to have an emotional response to an abstract area of science. Our aim is to imagine, through words and sound, animals which have never been, but could have existed: we wish to invite our audience to consider what role chance plays in our own existence.

Procession
January 12 – February 23, 2024
Opening Reception | January 11, 2024 | 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Jinsik Yoo. In his solo debut, Yoo uses figurative abstraction to question cultural boundaries, examining the border between myth and reality, the state and its people, and the body and its past or future. Drawing from Korean myths as well as his own experiences, Yoo asks how boundaries are drawn and what it costs to maintain them.
The sculptures in this exhibition reimagine how we experience those boundaries internally and in our relationships with others. One figure captures the moment of transformation in a classical Korean creation myth in which a tiger and a bear beg to become human. Another represents Yoo’s experience as a riot police officer during his mandatory military service, when he was charged to become an embodiment of state power. Still other pieces in this exhibition draw on feelings of joy and liberation Yoo experienced as a queer person moving from South Korea, where he was living in the closet, to the United States. Yoo uses these works to consider how border crossings—across forms, cultural conventions, and space—are essential to existence and to art making.
Jinsik Yoo is a New York-based figurative ceramic sculptor and painter. Yoo earned his MFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and his BFA from Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea. Recent exhibitions include: the Cincinnati Art Academy (Ohio; 2023), The Clay Studio in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania; 2023), and the Eutectic Gallery (Portland, OR; 2021).
