TOMORROW 4/22: Music by Petr Kotik at Bohemian National Hall, 7pm. You don’t want to miss this free concert! Photos from last night’s preview at Willow Place Auditorium.

S.E.M. Ensemble: Many Many Women | WED, APR 22, 7 PM | Bohemian National Hall Ballroom A rare chance to experience one of Petr Kotík’s most radical and quietly mesmerizing works live. S.E.M. Ensemble performs Many Many Women, his landmark setting of Gertrude Stein’s text, presented here in a curated version that preserves the piece’s rigor, repetition, and meditative force. The program also includes String Quartet No. 1 “Erinnerungen an Jan” performed by The Glass Clouds Ensemble, bringing another facet of Kotík’s singular musical language into focus. A longtime collaborator of John Cage, Kotík remains a defining figure in experimental music, connecting the legacy of the New York School with his own distinct compositional voice. Petr Kotík • S.E.M. Ensemble • The Glass Clouds Ensemble Part of our Offbeat Bohemia series. 🎟️ LEARN MORE & REGISTER: Follow the link in our bio or visit czechcenter.com #experimentalmusic #newmusic #contemporarymusic #offbeatbohemia #liveinny

S.E.M. Ensemble: Many Many Women | WED, APR 22, 7 PM | Bohemian National Hall Ballroom An evening devoted to one of the most uncompromising works of experimental music. S.E.M. Ensemble presents Petr Kotík's Many Many Women, a landmark composition based on the complete text of Gertrude Stein's novella, heard here in a rare, curated version that retains its meditative intensity and structural clarity. Written for paired voices and instruments moving in parallel intervals, the piece unfolds through repetition, duration, and silence, following Stein's principle of "the un-change." Alongside this work, the program includes Kotík's String Quartet No. 1 "Erinnerungen a Jan" performed by The Glass Clouds Ensemble, offering a more recent perspective on his singular compositional language. A long-time collaborator of John Cage, Kotík has shaped the experimental music landscape across decades, bridging the New York School with a distinctly European sensibility. Petr Kotík • S.E.M. Ensemble • The Glass Clouds Ensemble Part of the Offbeat Bohemia contemporary music series. 🎟️ LEARN MORE & REGISTER: Follow the link in our bio or visit czechcenter.com #experimentalmusic #newmusic #contemporarymusic #offbeatbohemia #liveinny
