“I’ve heard and read of Eric Moe (b. 1954) for several years now, but never heard his music, so I leapt at this opportunity to get to know his work….

Moe, it must be said from the outset, is a wonderful pianist. Indeed, on the basis of this sampling, he seems to be one of the finest composer-pianists of his generation (the only comparable one in his age bracket who leaps to my mind is the Boston-based John McDonald). Three Ways to Relieve TensionGrande Étude BrillanteWhere Branched Thoughts Murmur in the WindDance of the Honey Monkey, and Nocturne  (respectively 2001, 1991, 2000, 1999, and 1997) show him as confident, virtuosic, and expressive. These solo pieces negotiate a wide range of expressive states and technical challenges. As some of the titles suggest, Moe has a deep love of — and evidences affinity with — Chopin, while Where Branched Thoughts Murmur in the Wind is distinctly Debussian. But there’s never a sense of a cheap imitation here; all the pieces speak through a personalized modernist sensibility.” ~ Robert Carl in Fanfare, January/February 2006.

What Is Sound Gallery?

What would it be like: hearing music through someone else’s ears? What does it mean to really listen. Can we hear three-dimensionally? Is music the most personal of all the art forms? Do we hear with only our ears? The Sound Gallery will be dedicated to the exploration of both music and listening. We invite you to join us on a grand adventure which is half “music performance” and half you the audience and your ability to listen.

“New music: new listening. Not an attempt to understand something that is being said,for, if something were being said, the sounds would be given the shapes of words. Just an attention to the activity of sounds.” John Cage

In a world full of sound we are proposing a series of small concerts that are unique journeys into an interior landscape of musical composition. Whether instantaneous or written down, each concert will be an original sonic viewpoint.
