TIMES TWO SERIES TEAMS UP WITH MFA’S SOUND BITES TO RELEASE MARIA FINKELMEIER’S NEW ALBUM ON DECEMBER 6

On Thursday, December 6th at 7pm, Times Two shines the spotlight on co-director, Maria Finkelmeier, featuring works from her brand new album A Line that Terminates at the Present. In collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston’s “Sound Bites,” the evening will feature Finkelmeier’s music performed artist collective MASARY Studios, percussion quartet Kadence Ensemble, and saxophonist/poet Timothy Hall. The event will take place in the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art and is free with museum admission.

A multi-genre representation of Finkelmeier’s interest in current sounds, A Line that Terminates at the Present was released to the public in November, and blends a classical background with electronic beats and pop inspired melodies. The concert will feature percussion quartets performed by Kadence Ensemble inspired by her large-scale score from “Know No.” a commission by the Boston Center for the Arts. The works dissect the emotion one feels when hearing or stating “no,” as an individual, minority, or society at large. In addition to the the quartets, Finkelmeier will share a suite of marimba and electronics pieces called “Insomnia Suite” and a collaboration boasting the album’s title with Tim Hall. The event will conclude with two high-energy pieces performed by MASARY Studios, featuring animation projection on the walls of the gallery.
