Steven Schick A Hard Rain: The Case for Complex Music
Part of the Steven Schick Residency

A Seminar for Iowa’s Creative Campus
In a reference to both the famous Bob Dylan song and Steven Schick’s childhood on a farm in northern Iowa, “A Hard Rain” explores the richness and complexity of the musical experience. Through the lens Alvin Lucier’s work Silver Streetcar for the Orchestra, a piece for percussive triangle, and Brian Ferneyhough’s hyper-virtuosic percussion solo, Bone Alphabet, Schick will examine the challenges of a contemporary musician who seeks simultaneously to look inward towards the details of their craft and outward toward an engagement with the natural world and with diverse communities of listeners.
