DESCRIPTION:Curated and hosted by Professor Claire Chase\n\nThe iconic Amer
 ican composer Terry Riley (b. 1935) began The Holy Liftoff (2022-2025)* as
  an open-score sketchbook of brilliantly colored drawings for multiple flu
 tes\, commissioned by Claire Chase for her multi-year Density 2036 project
 . Through a realization by Samuel Clay Birmaher\, these sketches have sinc
 e evolved into a multidimensional work blending through-composed material\
 , graphic notation\, evocative artwork\, and Riley’s signature open-form
  scoring. Heard now as an eight-voice chorus of flutes (seven pre-recorded
  and one live\, played by Chase)\, The Holy Liftoffis joined on the progra
 m by Riley’s Pulsing Lifters (2024)\, expanding the modular\, improvisat
 ory spirit of the larger project: Pulsing Lifters reimagined for keyboards
  by Alex Peh. For this performance\, she is joined by Parker Quartet\, pia
 nist Alex Peh\, saxophonist Neil Leonard\, and special guests from the Ber
 klee Interdisciplinary Arts Institute\, the Harvard New Music Ensemble\, a
 nd Students in Contemporary Chamber Music.
