About

This is an exclusive two-set performance by eminent pianist/composer Myra
Melford and her newest ensemble, which will make its first studio recording at
Firehouse 12 earlier in the day. The two year-old group performs Ms. Melford's
12-part suite of the same name inspired by Uruguayan author Eduardo
Galeanos 1982 book, Genesis, the first in his Memory of Fire trilogy. These
compositions juxtapose Galeano's text with notated music as well as improvised
settings for various groupings within the quartet.
