vespers 15 @ washington street art center (WSAC)
321 Washington St., Somerville MA
James P. Falzone was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1986. He studied organ under Carlton T. Russell at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts. In 2014, he founded the Providence Research Ensemble with the aim of performing his own works as well as those of other contemporary composers. In 2015, we was a student-resident-composer at the Ostrava Days music conference and festival in the Czech Republic, where two of his pieces we performed. He was an artist-fellow at the RISD Museum for the 2016 year. In addition to his work with the Providence Research Ensemble, Falzone also performs with Ordinary Affects, based in Boston. In addition to his more strictly formal compositional practice, he also enjoys writing songs and is a versatile improviser. An album of his ensemble pieces is released on the label Infrequent Seams.
Jordan Dykstra (1985) is an American composer and violist from Sioux City, Iowa, United States. Dykstra studied composition at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, California., Portland State University in Portland, Oregon., the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California, and Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. He studied composition at CalArts with Michael Pisaro and Wolfgang von Schweinitz, and has met privately with Chiyoko Szlavnics, Daníel Bjarnason, and Alvin Lucier. He has worked as a composer on film music for Gus Van Sant and as a session violist and string director for Dirty Projectors. Dykstra has performed on solo viola at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, at the Portland Art Museum in Portland, at Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik, Iceland, and at the Syros Institute in Ano Syros, Greece. In 2014, Dykstra received an Individual Artist Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission to apprentice with composer Daníel Bjarnason in Reykjavík, Iceland. While in Val Verde, CA in 2015, Jordan Dykstra founded Editions Verde, a small-run publisher of art and musical objects.
