Improvisatory dance and music

The Department of Music and Theatre presents the premiere of The Hanging Of Pinocchio, a new musical work composed by Music and Theatre faculty member David Dvorin. Inspired by the original telling of Carlos Collodi’s 19th century masterpiece of children’s fiction, the work is a rumination on the perplexity of boyhood behavior and societal expectations. Joining David on guitar and electronics will be a top-notch ensemble of instrumental soloists from around Northern California, including Matej Seda (violin), Randy McKean (clarinets), and Clifford Childers (trombone/bass trumpet/harmonica). 

Set of solo guitar compositions as part of Uncle Dad's series presenting an entirely different lineup of visual, auditory, and performance art based on the concept of Decomposition as it relates to art, science, and culture.

Pull-String Duo will premiere Dust Bowl Mix, a new work composed by David Dvorin for acoustic guitar, banjo, violin and electronics. Inspired by and created from the historic Library of Congress audio recordings which document the personal lives of Dust Bowl migrants in California, the piece explores themes of hope, work, family, and disillusionment drawing upon the aesthetic and music of the “dirty thirties”.
