Adam Tendler's 'Inheritances' explores the ties that bind through dynamic pieces by 16 composers.
Adam Tendler's 'Inheritances' features multimedia works including music by 16 composers, all touching on Tendler's relationship with his late father.A manila envelope stuffed with $100 bills passed quietly in a Denny’s parking lot isn’t the usual way that new music commissions get funded. But Adam Tendler has never been particularly concerned with concert hall niceties.
Tendler doesn’t give a precise figure for his windfall, except to say that “it wasn’t a lot of money. But it’s the most money I’ve ever had in the front seat of my Jeep.” “The pieces really talk to each other in a certain way. I’d get a piece and think, ‘This has to go here,’” he says. Laurie Anderson, he found, had to be at the beginning. He saved other, more provocative pieces for later: “There are certain things that the audience is more receptive to if they’ve been more worn down. ‘Hushing’ is a shocking piece, the only one with video … It works as a gate to the second act, because by then people are okay with being challenged.
