Boyle's abstract:\n\nThe music of Canadian composer Linda Catlin Smith (b. 1957) has garnered increasing critical acclaim and public recognition over the past few decades. Smith’s music is sometimes compared to that of Morton Feldman\, American minimalists\, or the Wandelweiser Collective\, but one feature distinguishing her style from these touchstones is her varied and often lush harmonic language. Smith writes that she is “drawn to an ambiguity of harmony and narrative.” Based on an extensive survey of her works\, I describe features of Smith’s pitch structuring practices that support this ambiguity and consider how they have informed reception of her works. I show that Smith’s compositions often feature stable or gradually shifting macroharmonies (Tymoczko 2011) of seven to nine pitch classes. Her preferred collections include not only the diatonic\, but modes of the acoustic scale and collections that add one or two pcs to these seven-note collections – macroharmonies that allow for quasi-diatonic chords and scale fragments without suggesting a typical major/minor tonality. I show how Smith often enhances the ambiguity of her novel tonalities by avoiding centricity\, clear bass lines\, or overtly tertian chords\, and demonstrate how subtle macroharmonic change structures larger form in certain works. At the local level\, Smith’s chords often relate by techniques of common-tone preservation\, fuzzy transposition/inversion (Quinn 2001)\, subset recombination\, or what I term “split transposition\,” while larger passages may be structured by strategic chord repetition. All of these techniques broadly allow for subtle exploratory variation without strong teleologic arcs or tension/release dynamics\, an “ambiguity of narrative” that may partially explain Smith’s reception as minimalism- or Wandelweiser-adjacent.\n\nGUEST BIO\n\nANTARES (TARA) BOYLE is Associate Professor of Music Theory at Portland State University. Her research on modernist\, experimental\, and improvised music has touched on European post-serial composers Salvatore Sciarrino and Harrison Birtwistle\, American jazz pioneers Wayne Shorter and Craig Taborn\, and contemporary multimedia performer Matana Roberts. Tara’s work has been published in the journals *Music Theory Spectrum*\, *Journal of Music Theory*\, *Perspectives of New Music*\, and *Music Theory Online*\, and is forthcoming in two edited volumes. Her scholarship has been awarded the Society for Music Theory’s Emerging Scholar Award\, the publication awards of the SMT Interest Groups in Jazz and Post-1945 Music Analysis\, and the SMT-40 Dissertation Fellowship.

The artist first learned to play the instrument in a public middle school orchestra\, which was launched using concessions to the community after protests against a local landfill expansion. Although it took nearly a week just to produce a sound from the instrument's double reed\, the p'iri became the artist's life purpose and led them to study in Seoul. By embracing this origin story\, the debut album is meant as a gift for listeners who are unfamiliar with the p'iri. The music maps out the artist's personal progression with the instrument\, beginning with simple\, easy-listening versions of the Korean folksong Arirang from five different regions. The album then transitions to Sangnyeongsan puri\, a highly challenging solo piece requiring immense breath control that the artist once played at the final round of a national competition. Finally\, the music ventures into new territory\, pushing the p'iri beyond its traditional acoustic boundaries through the use of electronic mediation.\n \n The Landfill listening party at the Cluster Museum is a community art event introducing the p'iri\, a Korean bamboo wind instrument. Following opening remarks by ethnomusicologists Dr. Christi-Anne Castro and Dr. Hilary Finchum\, alongside Asian American composer Dr. Julie Zhu and an interdisciplinary artist Chien-An Yuan\, the event will feature live performances of the Korean folksong \"Arirang\" paired with recorded tracks from the p'iri musician/ethnomusicologist Sunhong Kim's debut album on the 1473 label. An interactive Q&A following the listening will allow guests to talk directly with the artist about her personal path and musical progression with the instrument.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us atoutreachkorea@umich.edu.

There will also be a post-performance discussion.*\n\nGustav and Alma Mahler arrived in New York City in 1907. He had been invited to lead the Metropolitan Opera\; his glamorous wife accompanied him to the New World. His embattled American career places their legendary marriage in sharp relief. Nineteen years Gustav’s junior\, Alma was his constant companion and occasional soul-mate\, sometimes his muse\, always his caretaker\, a woman otherwise restless and unfulfilled. Her husband’s life was intensely interior\, sporadically alert to others’ needs and desires.\n\nHorowitz writes: “My play is based on my 2023 novel with the same name. Its central event is Alma’s affair with Walter Gropius and her wrenching decision to remain with Mahler. As *The Marriage* illuminates\, there are things to be learned about Gustav and Alma that cannot as readily be observed in Vienna or Budapest as in Manhattan. Mahler was a great personality and\, when circumstances permitted\, a great man. He arrived in America weakened and fatigued. His energy and idealism were aroused by the New World\, but fitfully – he remained a chronic outsider.”\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nJOSEPH HOROWITZ is an award-winning author\, concert producer\, film-maker\, and broadcaster. He is one of the most prominent and widely published writers on topics in American music. As an orchestral administrator and advisor\, he has been a pioneering force in the development of thematic programming and new concert formats. Horowitz’s most recent books include a novel\, *The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York*\, about which Clive Paget wrote in *Musical America*: “With his unparalleled knowledge of fin-de-siècle classical music in America\, Joseph Horowitz [has] brought us closer to Mahler and his wife Alma than any other author I have read. . . . At times\, your heart breaks for them both. . . . In Gustav and Alma Mahler\, Horowitz has created two of classical music’s most convincing fictional portraits.” Another Horowitz book\, *Dvorak’s Prophecy and the Vexed Fate of Black Classical Music*\, tells a story that “must be heard if classical music is to contribute to the national discussion on racial justice” (according to Mark Clague of the University of Michigan). A former *New York Times* music critic\, and Executive Director of the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra\, Horowitz works as an artistic consultant for orchestras throughout the US\, and also regularly produces 50-minute “More than Music” documentaries for National Public Radio.

A prizewinner of several international competitions\, including the Musica Sacra\, Strauss\, Rheinsberg\, and Darclée Competitions\, she served as a principal soloist at Theater Münster and has appeared in leading roles at major German opera houses\, including Essen\, Freiburg\, and Wiesbaden. Her operatic repertoire includes roles such as Blonde (*Die Entführung aus dem Serail*) and Musetta (*La Bohème*).\n \nAs a concert artist\, she has performed at the Berlin Philharmonie and in major venues across Europe\, collaborating with distinguished conductors such as Wolfgang Sawallisch and Christian Thielemann. Her repertoire includes Bach’s Passions\, Mozart’s *Requiem*\, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9\, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 4. She has also been featured at major international festivals\, including the Leipzig Bach Festival\, and has performed with leading orchestras across Asia.\n\nDeeply committed to Korean art song\, she shares its beauty and emotional depth with audiences worldwide. She has introduced Korean art songs – including “Arirang” – to European audiences and regularly leads masterclasses in Korea on this repertoire.\n\nHer recording of Handel’s *Dixit Dominus*\, conducted by Winfried Toll\, was released by Sony Classical. She has also appeared with the Seoul Metropolitan Opera and the Korea National Opera.\nShe studied at Seoul National University\, earned her master’s degree from the Berlin University of the Arts\, and completed the Konzertexamen with highest honors at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig. She is currently Professor of Voice at Gongju National University of Education.\n\nMATTHEW THOMPSON DMA (collaborative piano) joined the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance faculty in 2011 and was recently described by a former student as “giving one of the most wholesome\, nerdy\, epic-but-modest unicorn professor experiences you’ll ever find at U-M.” As a collaborative pianist\, Dr. Thompson has performed with operatic celebrities including Thomas Hampson\, Golden Mask winner Vince Yi\, and even musical theater gurus like Tony Award winner\, Gavin Creel. \n\nA lifelong gamer\, Dr. Thompson’s interests in video game music have become a major component of his teaching and research.  His upcoming book\, *The Video Game Piano Phenomenon: Press Ab to Play* will release in Spring 2027 as part of Intellect Publishing’s Studies in Game Sound and Music book series. \n\nIn 2022\, Thompson published a database of Korean Art Song\, koreanartsongresource.com\, currently containing thousands of song entries. The same year\, he organized and performed “K-ArtSong: a Korean Art Song Recital\,” excerpts of which went viral in Korean news media accumulating more than 10 million views. In 2024\, Thompson traveled to Korea and performed with U-M student\, Jack Morin\, on a Korean reality show\, *KoreaInvitesU*.\n\nThompson received masters and doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan in collaborative piano\, studying with his long time mentor\, Martin Katz.

Careening from acts boisterous and absurd to tributes reverent and tender\, the three works promise an unflinching examination of the human condition.\n\nPROGRAM\n\n*Little Charlotte the Round Ray* (premiered at the Disguise Festival\, Northampton\, MA\, May 2025)\n\nA cautionary tale\, told as speculative fiction in kaleidoscopic movement\, song and storytelling. It examines the desperation that can emerge from belief systems that elevate hysteria\, and wishful thinking. At its core\, this is a heartfelt homage to Charlotte.\n\n*Low Light* (premiered at the Beijing Dance Festival\, 2014)\n\nIn 1956\, Rachel Carson wrote a script for the popular TV show *Omnibus* called *Something About the Sky*. She hoped to challenge the \"sterile preoccupation with things artificial\" and question our \"alienation from our source of strength.” Our absolute and essential humanness calls out for a re-imagined vocabulary of encounters. This dance seeks to uncover how this looks and feels across an expanse of emotional latitude – the imaginary line that connects points across the surface of the earth. Geographical imagery provides a framework as the dancer moves inside a quivering\, episodic narrative.\n\n*deux dogtooth* (premiered at the Arthur Miller Theatre\, 2017)\n\nA duet for Tulip and Chavasse that uses misappropriation and agitprop in a tightly structured improvisation that relies on intricately timed textural layering\, gestures and humor. Obliquely referencing the 2009 film\, *Dogtooth* by Yorgos Lanthimos\, the action unfolds on and around a table\, two chairs and a thick shag rug.
