A PROJECT OF ZEITGEIST NEW MUSIC

Mill City String Quartet presents music of Tom Patterson

7/6/2016

0 Comments

 
The inmates at MN State Correctional Facility: Faribault belted loud cheers when they learned that they were about to hear the world premiere of Tom Patterson's String Quartet No. 7. The raucous applause at the conclusion of the piece was no-less enthusiastic, and it represented well how the Mill City String Quartet has felt about the work since that first performance.​

Exploring new works with diverse audiences, especially when written by composers with connections to the Twin Cities, is important to the members of the Mill City String Quartet. They have recently performed pieces by Jocelyn Hagen, Kevin Puts, and Gene Gutchë, and are now excited to bring three of Patterson's pieces to Studio Z. The program includes the 7th quartet, a short, one-movement sketch, and the recently-commissioned String Quartet No. 8.

Tom Patterson is a classically-trained composer and multi-instrumentalist living and working in Minneapolis. He received his PhD in music composition from the University of Minnesota in 2007, and has also extensively studied and performed East African xylophone and Indonesian gamelan music. He has written and performed music for film, dance, and video in addition to concert music.
​
You can hear more of Tom's works at SoundCloud, or find Tom's latest CD at CD Baby.
