Birds & Whistles On Sale
Birds and Whistles was created by Cornish art student Kyle Wendt in 2000. He solicited the submissions, letter-press printed the cover and hand-sewed the binding. With the assistance of a few students, Wendt kept the publication going each year until he graduated in 2003. After this time, Cornish design students Diana Riesenberger and Adrienne Smitke picked it up until they graduated in 2005.
Cornish Music Series Presents the Erwin Schulhoff Festival Jan 18-28
Jazz improviser, classical pianist, Dadaist, protégé of Dvorak and Debussy and dancehall habitué, Erwin Schulhoff was a rising star in the cultural world of 1920’s Europe. Among the first to integrate jazz and neoclassical composition, his work was nearly erased by the Holocaust and the Iron Curtain.
The Erwin Schulhoff Festival includes two weekends of special performances and a panel discussion that draws on Schulhoff’s wide ranging repertory for piano, chamber ensembles and voice, much of which will be new for Seattle audiences. A Schulhoff Festival highlight is the world premier performance of Tempo of Recollection, a new stage performance integrating Schulhoff’s compositions and his historical context, actors, musicians, dancers and innovative stage design.
