Composer Portrait: Oscar Bettison
Alarm Will Sound records Oscar Bettison’s “Livre des Sauvages” and “Pale Icons of Night”
Alarm Will Sound is performing on February 20, 2020 at Miller Theater at Columbia University as part of their ongoing Composer Portrait series. Dedicated to the music of composer Oscar Bettison, the evening will feature Livre des Sauvages and Pale Icons of Night, which was commissioned by AWS and received its World Premiere at the Peabody Institute on November 6, 2018. AWS will use this occasion to make a studio recording of both works, which will mark the world premiere recordings of Livre des Sauvages and Pale Icons of Night, as well as the first time that Alarm Will Sound has recorded Bettison’s work.
