Rainwater-Shim Duo
Agnes Szelag + Cheryl Leonard + Gregory Scharpen

The Rainwater-Shim Duo (pianist Anne Rainwater and flutist Meerenai Shim) performs duos and solos, including Pencilled Wings for flute, piano, and electronic playback by Emma O’Halloran, Greener Grass by Caroline Ansink, 90+ for piano by Elliott Carter, and Miniatures Book 4: Preset Etudes for flute and electronics by Brent Miller.

Thomas Carnacki, in the performance arena, has numbered as many as seven individuals, and as few as zero. Primary aesthetic concerns tend to revolve around uneasy textures, nuance, organicity, and peculiarity. Repeat offenders down the years have included the late Jim Kaiser, Gregory Hagan, Jesse Burson, and Sheila Bosco; this evening’s incarnation consists of Cheryl E. Leonard and Gregory Scharpen alongside Agnes Szelag. Carnacki music has accompanied dance pieces, films, plays, and outdoor installation spectacles across the continent and internationally. The most recent recorded documents to have been released into the world are the sibling albums Cadavre Isolé and Rencontre Fortuite, both derived from a formal exercise of inspired happenstance in the middle of lockdown.
