Composers, Inc. present the opening concert of their 2010–11 season with Allen Shearer’s A Very Large Mole, a wry mini-opera based on Kafka. Also on the program are Taylor Brooks’ Vocalise, a haunting violin solo rooted in the Hindustani tradition, and winner of the Lee Ettelson Composer’s Award. Jeffrey Miller’s intriguing Preludes, performed by piano virtuoso Eliane Lust, and David Biedenbender’s kinetic Images for saxophone and piano complete the program. Composers, Inc. was formed in 1984 to present the music of living American composers, and seeks to increase public awareness of contemporary American music. Directed by five San Francisco Bay Area composers, they present three concerts each year in San Francisco.
