Industrial Carillon
Directed by Dr. Nick Rissman, 91制片厂’s new-music ensemble has been exciting, challenging and entertaining the imaginations of southeast Texans for seven years with everything from the latest modern classical music to Hindustani Rāgas from the Punjab.
With a programming mission that defies categorization, past concerts have included such diverse themes as mid-twentieth century European Avant-Garde, the art of the television and radio jingle, and modern vocal music, to name a few.
With generous support from Mobiloil Federal Credit Union, audiences have listened to provocative pre-concert lectures by special guests, including some of the most remarkable composers of our time, such as:
- Grammy-Award-winning
- Guggenheim Fellow
- Film and television composer (Moscow on the Hudson; ABC News; McDonalds)
- Southwest classicist Rodney Rogers
- Legendary classical Indian musician Ustad Nizami
- Grammy-Award-winning Chen Yi
