Circuit Bridges presents cellist Craig Hultgren on Monday, March 7 at
\nGallery MC. Hultgren, an accomplished performer of new and adventurous
\nmusic, will perform works for cello and electronics, many written
\nspecifically for him. Composers featured on this concert include Rusty
\nBanks, James Bohn, Monroe Golden, Melissa Grey, Dorothy Hindman, Douglas
\nOvens, and Robert Voisey. Hultgren will also perform his Improvisation for
\namplified cello. He will be joined by the composer James Bohn on his piece
\nChamonefor cello, toy piano, and sound file.<\/p>\n
For several decades, cellist Craig Hultgrenhas been a fixture on the scenes
\nfor new music, the newly creative arts, and the avant-garde. Recently
\nleaving Birmingham after more than 30 years as a member of the Alabama
\nSymphony, he now resides outside of Decorah, Iowa as the farmer-cellist. A
\nrecipient of two Artist Fellowships from the Alabama State Council on the
\nArts, he was a member for many years of Th\u00e1myris, a contemporary chamber
\nmusic ensemble in Atlanta. He is a founding member of Luna Nova, a new music
\nensemble with a large repertoire of performances available as podcast
\ndownloads on iTunes.<\/p>\n
Hultgren is featured in three solo CD recordings including The
\nElectro-Acoustic Cello Book on Living Artist Recordings. For ten years, he
\nproduced the Hultgren Solo Cello Works Biennial, an international
\ncompetition that highlighted the best new compositions for the instrument.
\nHe taught at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the Alabama School of
\nFine Arts and Birmingham-Southern College where he directed the BSC New
\nMusic Ensemble. He is a founding member and former President of the
\nBirmingham Art Music Alliance and was on the Board of Directors of the
\nMetropolitan Youth Orchestras of Birmingham and their Scrollworks program.
\nHultgren recently performed a Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame concert titled Occupy
\nCello in New York for the Composer\u2019s Voice Concert Series. That program
\nfeatured 15 one-minute solo compositions that challenge the traditional
\nboundaries of the instrument. Last fall, he was the featured performer for
\nthe La Crosse New Music Festival in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
