FIRST FRIDAY AT TRINITY
JANUARY 4 – Friday at 7:00 pm
First Friday at Trinity Cathedral Classical Revolution PHX presents this free concert at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral during the First Friday Artwalk along Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix. Based in Arizona’s Valley of the Sun, the Phoenix Chamber Brass is poised to become one of America’s premier brass quintets.

FIRST FRIDAY AT BOOKMANS
JANUARY 4 – Friday at 7:30 pm
Join Classical Revolution PHX and Erasable Color First Friday Art Walk at Bookmans of Phoenix (19th Ave and Northern Ave) from 7:30-8:30 pm for a free concert of contemporary classical music. Erasable Color performs both 20th-century chamber music standards and brand new pieces written by the young and upcoming composers of today. Opening with John Cage’s Living Room Music (1940), Erasable Color brings the sounds of every day objects — like dishes, silverware, tables, chairs and more! — to life in this short and exciting work. EC will continue with Louis Andriessen’s Workers Union (1975), a high-octane groove machine for “any loud sounding ensemble.” Erasable Color will also perform works written by composers this year. Hot off the press from the east coast, Princeton composer Elliot Cole’s Vibraphone Postludes puts EC in a unique musical scenario: one vibraphone, four players, 8 cello bows, and several beautiful chorales for the instrument. A glance at Erasable Color’s star percussionist/composer Owen Davis’ Three Poems of Ryan Brown will present poetry like never heard before. Be sure to stay after the show to talk all the things music, sound and noise with Erasable Color. Check out more information about Erasable Color at their website.

Commonly referred to as African Blacwkood or Grenadilla, the wood is used to manufacture the clarinet and other musical instruments. The high international demand for Mpingo wood threatens the tree’s existence.
