TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Experimental composer-performer Dr. Judy Dunaway will perform at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov., 20, in the Moody Music Building Recital Hall.
The event, part of The University of Alabama’s Sonic Frontiers series, is free and open to the public.
Dunaway will present a concert of the balloon music she has been developing for more than two decades. Stretching both ears and rubber, the concert will include an audience interactive performance of her Balloon Symphony No. 2.
Dunaway’s free improvisations and compositions on latex balloons have graced major festivals throughout the United States and Europe, including the Roy and Edna Disney Center in Los Angeles, the Lincoln Center Out of Doors festival in New York, the Guelph, Canada, Jazz Festival and the Podewil in Berlin.
She recently completed a 16-city tour of Europe. CDs of Dunaway’s work are available on the CRI and Innova labels, among others. For a preview of her work, go to http://youtu.be/3gPbTdWw7yw.
