About the series
Jack Straw Productions and WCF present the Transport series of compelling performances by international and local artists, offering a way out of audio gridlock to music’s far horizons. The concerts include the Interval series of video work. Created by ForeignAmerican Pictures and select filmmakers, the video accompanies music from calls for scores. Receptions follow the concerts.
The series features international and local artists in several premieres, and includes music by acclaimed composers including George Antheil, Martin Bresnick, John Corigliano, Michael Finnissy, and Frederic Rzewski. National calls for scores inject the programs with the latest music. Music and video are presented at the end of each intermission as part of the Interval series.
Transport brings to the Northwest such dramatic performers as pianist Stephen Drury, accordion and bass duo Slide Show Secret, and saxophone quartet Quasar. They are joined by Northwest artists such as pianist Cristina Valdés, violinist Michael Lim, clarinetist Sean Osborn, saxophonist Greg Sinibaldi, pianist Margaret Brink, and the Tom Baker Quartet. The concerts take place at the Chapel Performance Space at the Good Shepherd Center in Seattle.
