Monday, May 3, 2021 on KBOO from 8-10 PM A Different Nature will present a rebroadcast of a live performance of Terry Riley's "In C" at KBOO studios from September 29, 2014. Performed as part of that year's celebration of In C's 50th anniversary, hosted by Daniel Flessas and Andy Hosch, the evening featured a 16 member ensemble recruited with the help of Michael Stirling and Ron Blessinger, and nicknamed (by Daniel) the "In C Monkeys":
Diane Chaplin-cello, Ron Blessinger & Michelle Alany-violins, Chiran Wharty (sp?) & Kathy Fors-accordions, Reed Wallsmith-alto sax, Doug Haning-bass sax, Christopher Corbell & Dan Duval-electric guitars, Jeffrey Ashton & Peter LeClair-classical guitars, Hillary Smith-tabla & melodica, Paul Beck-cimbalom, John Berendsen -voice, Anne Adams-voice & human theremin, and Mitchell Falconer-piano.
During the second hour, we'll listen to another interesting rendition:
