In addition to again becoming very actively engaged in the community as a composer and performer\, Michelle is the Musician in Residence for the Dance Program within the University of Minnesota’s Theater Arts and Dance Department.

SUMMARY:Experimental Jazz on Lafond Presents: Stephen Marotto and Willful Devices
DESCRIPTION:Thursday October 9th\, 7pm\nExperimental Jazz on Lafond Presents: Stephen Marotto and Willful Devices\nZion Community Commons: 1697 Lafond Ave.\, St. Paul\n(this concert is not wheelchair accessible) \nTickets at the door – $15 / $10 students. Cash\, check\, Venmo\, Paypal accepted \nCellist Stephen Marotto is a passionate advocate for contemporary music and plays regularly with groups such as Sound Icon\, Callithumpian Consort\, and the Boston Modern Orchestra Project. He has a wide range of musical interest that include contemporary chamber music\, improvisatory music\, and electroacoustic music. Stephen can be heard as a featured artist on Mode Records. In his spare time\, Stephen is an avid hiker and outdoorsman. \nWillful Devices is a collaboration between composer/improviser Scott L. Miller and performer/improviser Pat O’Keefe. Despite their best efforts\, the devices they make music with are never fully under their control—they accept and celebrate this unpredictability as a potential source of unimagined sonic discovery. Scott and Pat’s musical relationship began in 2003 when Scott was commissioned by the new music ensemble Zeitgeist (of which Pat is a member) to create an evening-length work\, Shape Shifting. Their personal and artistic sensibilities clicked\, and they began the journey that would lead to what is today Willful Devices.
