    Tyler Eschendal: ACTIONS
    I. ARGUING
    II. ACTING
    III. SINGING
    IV. ORDERING
    V. EXPLAINING

    Tyler Eschendal, Percussion and vocals
    Diana Wyenn, Director

    ACTIONS is a set of five interconnected movements exploring the musicality of speech and communication, redefining fluency, and confronting what it is like to live with a stutter. Each movement presents a different verbal or physical action (Arguing, Acting, Singing, Ordering, and Explaining) that uses percussion performances, theatrical monologues, and singing as a frame to draw attention to the experience of stuttering and other neurodiversities.

    Alongside an estimated three million Americans, Tyler is a person who stutters.

    From the artist: “For many years, I chose not to make music around my stutter because I didn’t understand it. I was concerned about sharing it with others because alongside harmful tropes often portrayed in media, I primarily identified as a covert stutterer: someone who purposely omits or substitutes words to avoid stuttering. Although the original goal of the short film series was simply to better understand my stutter, this live adaptation presents the opportunity to connect to other people who stutter across Southern California and rebuild the narrative around stuttering.”

  • REDCAT: Julius Eastman - The Holy Presence
    REDCAT ROY AND EDNA DISNEY/CALARTS THEATER, 631 W 2nd St, Los Angeles, CA 90012, USA
    8:30 PM

    GRAMMY-nominated orchestral collective Wild Up presents an evening of works by maverick composer Julius Eastman as part of the To the Fullest festival. Wild Up cellist and Eastman scholar Seth Parker Woods performs The Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc—a live performance of one of the ten cello parts of the piece atop his recording of the other nine parts. This work is accompanied by Eastman’s seminal work Prelude to The Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc performed by soloist Dwight Trible, and followed by a new transcription of That Boy by Seth Parker Woods, composed by Eastman in 1973, with oboe, percussion, voice, and clarinet.

  • Johan Dalene
    Raitt Recital Hall, Pepperdine University
    2:00 PM

    Winner of the 2019 prestigious Carl Nielsen Competition, Swedish-Norwegian violinist Johan Dalene “is not just a virtuoso like many others, he is a voice. He has a tone, a presence” (Diapason). At the age of 23, he has performed with leading orchestras and in celebrated recital halls both at home and abroad. His ability to “make his Stradivarius sing like a master” (Le Monde), coupled with his refreshingly honest musicality and engagement with musicians and audiences alike, has won him countless admirers. In 2022 he was named Gramophone’s Young Artist of the Year.
