Juxtatonal [JUX], a theatrical new music voice and cello duo, teams up with saxophonist Nick Zoulek to explore the concepts of relevance and vulnerability through a playful yet meaningful contemporary music concert. The program includes new commissions from JUX's latest Relevance Project and works from both of Zoulek’s albums ("Rushing Past Willow" and "Enter Branch") in addition to works for all three performers.
JUX aims to legitimize playfulness on stage, find creativity in a recreative art, and connect with audiences through compositions that blur the lines between music, art, and theater. In the spirit of this mission, JUX commissioned 14 composers for new works responding to the concept of relevance. The compositions deal with issues of vulnerability, self, privilege, gender, age, and culture.
In addition to collaborating with JUX to perform three world premieres, Zoulek will share some of his own compositions that include cinematic video projections. He explores new possibilities in saxophone performance, creating visceral tapestries of sound and has been praised as a “no-holds-barred engine of avant-garde exploration," (Portland Press Herald) and “stunningly virtuosic, whatever the genre” (Wall Street Journal).

Concert of solo cello music in Tucson, AZ
With influences ranging from James Brown and Captain Beefheart to Beethoven, American composer Lee Hyla wrote visceral classical music driven by energetic rhythms and extreme timbral landscapes. Five years after his death, Hyla remains an important figure in the NYC, Boston, and Chicago scenes, although his music is not often performed.
On Friday, March 15, Bryan Hayslett presents a rare performance of Hyla’s chamber works including cello that shows the breadth of the composer’s style with pieces written throughout his career. The program includes piano trios such as Mother Popcorn Revisited based on a James Brown song, string duos, and a solo written at the beginning of his career, culminating with an iconic trio for cello, piano, and percussion titled Dream of Innocent III.
Featuring Bryan Hayslett (cello) with Tristan McKay and Robert Fleitz (piano), Jess Tsang (percussion), Michiko Theurer and Paul Hauer (violins), Hannah Levinson (viola)
