The Accompanist of CODA Chorus: Bridget Convey
In recent years, Ed Larson has accompanied the choir, but as he has assumed directorship, CODA Chorus is pleased to announce that Bridget Convey of Hallowell will take over in the fall. A musician who enjoys performing music of our time, pianist Bridget Convey has found much fulfillment in collaborating with living composers. Originally from New York, Bridget began performing twentieth century repertoire under the guidance of percussionist Raymond DesRoches, and was given the opportunity to collaborate with composers. In 1995 Bridget relocated to Southern California and was fortunate to work with composers such as Stephen ‘Lucky’ Mosko, Arthur Jarvinen, Morton Subotnick, Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith, Vinny Golia, Donald Crockett, Steven Hoey, and James Tenny among many others. As a soloist and ensemble musician, Bridget has been heard throughout the United States performing music of diverse periods and styles. She has performed at venues such as Lincoln Center (NYC) and Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (Los Angeles, CA) (with the Los Angeles Philharmonic); ‘Sundays Live’ Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Ojai Music Festival, CA; Fechin Institute Chamber Concert Series, Taos, NM; Idyllwild School of the Arts New Music Festivals, CA; Maybeck Performing Arts Studio, Berkeley, CA; and many others. Bridget has specifically been sought after as a New Music pianist and featured musician at several National and International Festivals in the United States. During Fall 2002 she was invited to perform at the International New Music Festival at CCSN, Las Vegas. Spring 2001 Bridget was ‘artist in residence’ at the University of Minnesota-Duluth Spring New Music Festival. In Fall 1999 she was guest artist at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention 1999 (Columbus, OH). She lectured and performed John Cage’s masterpiece ‘Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano.’
