Member Spotlight: Matthew Levy, PRISM Quartet’s tenor saxophonistA member of the Boyer College of Music and Dance - Temple University faculty, Matt will join the Temple University Wind Symphony under Dr. Patricia Cornett on March 14 for the world premiere (and subsequent release on BCM&D Records) of "Only Moments to Live," a concerto for tenor saxophone and wind ensemble by Irish composer Emma O’Halloran. The work is inspired by writings on mindfulness by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Matt and Dr. Cornett led a consortium of 15 top U.S. saxophonists and affiliated institutions to commission the work. Previously, Matt premiered and recorded O’Halloran’s tenor sax and electronics work, Sum of its Parts, for XAS Records, PRISM Quartet’s in-house label which he founded in 2016.Network for New Music recently presented Matt in the world premiere of See Your Shadow for solo saxophone and electronics by the Curtis Institute of Music’s Nick DiBerardino. See Your Shadow uses field recordings Matt made of his daughter Mae, now six years old, from when she was just two and shadows were mysterious companions. Matt’s recording of the work (made during the pandemic) is also available on XAS Records.Behind the scenes, Matt is busy producing and engineering five PRISM Quartet recordings for XAS: Generate Music (featuring four fellow recipients of the Pew Fellowship in the Arts: Ursula Rucker, Tyshawn Sorey, Susan Watts, and Diane Monroe, in addition to David Gilmore, David Krakauer, Reuben Rogers); El Eco de Un Tambor by/with Miguel Miguel Zenon, Piccolo Concertante for saxophone quartet and string quintet by Robert Capanna with Network for New Music; Nebulae by/with Tyshawn Sorey, and Dissolve by Emily Cooley.
