Three new works by James Klopfleisch: Four Sleeps for struck ringing objects; The Virgin Joke, an experimental setting of a joke about virginity from the sitcom 'Roseanne'; and A Bright Future Awaits You... for oboe and tape (played by Claire Chenette).   

Also a mystery piece by Sepand Shahab!

Afterwords will follow a short Q&A where Klopfleisch will explain himself, and possibly tell stories from his 12 hour layover in the Miami airport, which he considers an unexpected mini-residency allowing him to write The Virgin Joke.

Works by Sepand Shahab and James Klopfleisch performed on a night with no verbal communication.  (other sounds/forms of communication are ok)

 Please Note: for this event we will need everyone's cooperation and participation to create a special kind of atmosphere: one where people are free to interact as usual except that there be no verbal communication.  Hopefully people will find other ways to interact, such as writing notes or gesturing, etc.  There is no need to be intentionally quiet or subdued otherwise, hopefully the atmosphere can be as close as possible to that of a normal night, just with the sound of talking removed.
