Kevin Malone: SUDDEN MEMORIALS (US Premiere)
September 11, 2021 
Performed Live at New York University, time TBA

On the 20th anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, Marilyn Nonken will present the American premiere of Sudden Memorials, a 30-minute work for solo piano inspired by a photograph taken by the composer during his 2006 visit to Shanksville, PA. The work is inspired by the makeshift wire fence at the crash site, with hundreds of spontaneous memorial offerings to the victims of United Airlines Flight 93.

Upcoming Release: Syncopated Musings (Divine Art)
Music of Scott Joplin,Louis Chauvin, Joseph Lamb, Scott Hayden, and Arthur Marshall

Acclaimed for her interpretations of works by early twentieth-century composers such as Schönberg and Ives, Nonken now turns her attention to their contemporary, Scott Joplin, whose music – often mischaracterized as a simply American vernacular – reveals his close ties to opera and vocal genres. In Joplin’s works and those of his collaborators Louis Chauvin, Joseph Lamb, Scott Hayden, and Arthur Marshall, one recognizes a heretofore underappreciated worldliness, elegance, and virtuosity. Taken together, these compositions celebrate the lively artistic community of which Joplin was the central figure, highlighting the lyrical and dramatic range of ragtime itself.
