JOHN KING, composer and guitarist, has presented his unique style of determinate, indeterminate and spontaneous music in many major festivals, including the Next Wave Festival (NY)...

Saturday, May 10, 2008 at 4:30PM -an excerpt from the opera "Dice Thrown", text by Stéphane Mallarmé, will be performed as part of the NYCOpera's VOX series, for more info click here.

 


"The most substantial piece is the one that lends the disc its title. Mr. King sketched four movements of "AllSteel" on Sept. 10, 2001, then added another four in response to the tumultuous events of the next day. The movements composed before the tragedy are energetic, jazzy and occasionally abrasive in their high spirits; those that followed move from numbed anguish to quiet resilience and hope. "
