    Blue/Bob

    Mills College, 5000 MacArthur Blvd., Oakland

    Robert Ashley and “Blue” Gene Tyranny collaborated for decades, and both were iconic and beloved teachers at the Mills College music department. This concert celebrates their work with Tyranny’s two-piano gems Decertified Highway of Dreams and Letters from Home and Ashley’s Viva’s Boy, along with solo compositions.  Joseph Kubera and Sarah Cahill worked on these scores with both composers, and will perform pieces that Tyranny dedicated to each of them, including The Drifter and Spirit.

“as tenacious and committed an advocate as
any composer could dream of”
