Phil Kline and Ensemble "Zippo Songs" and "Fear and Loathing

Contemporary composer Phil Kline is "a true original" (New York Times) who stretches the boundaries between avant-garde classical and ambient electronic music. Kline teams with vocalists Theo Bleckmann and Wilbur Pauley to perform two song-cycles, Zippo Songs and Fear and Loathing, combining acoustic instrumentation, electronic experimentation, and provocative texts drawn from two vibrant bodies of literature—the poems American soldiers scratched on their Zippo cigarette lighters during the Vietnam War and the razor-edged, hallucinatory works of "gonzo journalist" Hunter S. Thompson. Saturday, April 12, 2008 at 8 pm $23 adults, $19 students FlynnSpace
