The American Composers Forum presents:

NEW MUSIC SALON FEATURING LYRA
01/25/2005

As part of our ongoing "New Music Salon" series, ACF-DC presents a concert by our ensemble in residence: Lyra

Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 8:00pm, $15
At Flashpoint, 916 G Street, NW
(Metro: Gallery Place)


As part of both group's ongoing efforts to promote outstanding work by regional artists, Lyra will perform the second of three New Music Salon programs in the intimate Mead Theater Lab at Flashpoint.

"We hope to introduce some new pieces, show what our group can do, and encourage other artists to participate," said artistic director, clarinetist and composer Pamela Helton, who started the Lyra Chamber Ensemble in 2000. Recognizing diversity in music, the group often performs works by women, minority, lesbian and gay composers.
Flashpoint is a creative laboratory for DC arts organizations and features a contemporary art gallery, theater lab, and dance studio. It also offers shared office space and strategic business services for arts-related entities and the resident organizations. ACF-DC has the privilege of being one of the resident organizations.

ACF-DC has been sponsoring composer residencies with community groups and presenting new music in DC since 1997, and is always looking for new ways to break down barriers between artists, new music, and audiences.
