About the 2011 Program For Call & Response 2011, the Cypress String Quartet presents a program of exoticism-influenced music from the decades before and after the turn of the 20th century. Featured on the program along with music like Glazunov's Five Novelettes, Schulhoff's Five Pieces for String Quartet, Bloch's Landscapes and Debussy's String Quartet in G, Op.10, will be a newly commissioned work, titled Serenade (String Quartet No.2) from composer Jeffery Cotton. The Cypress Quartet previously commissioned and recorded Jeffery's String Quartet No.1 (2004), available to hear and purchase at music.cypressquartet.com.
Jeffery Cotton was the first composer-in-residence of St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble from 1992 through 1996, during which time he created Second Helpings, a “hosted” series of contemporary chamber music performances in the galleries of the Guggenheim Museum SoHo. The series, hailed by the New York Times as “something truly different”, continues to this day. He was also composer-in-residence with the Boston-based Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra from 1999 through 2003. His first new work for Metamorphosen, Lyra, was praised by the Boston Globe as “a gentle, confessional hymn to music of great beauty.” A native of Los Angeles, Cotton began his musical studies at California State University at Northridge, where he studied clarinet with Charles Bay and composition with Frank Campo and Daniel Kessner. In 1983 Cotton received a Fulbright Scholarship to conduct a two-year course of study with Hans Werner Henze at the Academy of Music in Cologne, Germany. During this time Cotton traveled extensively with Henze, attending among other events the Santa Fe Opera and the Edinburgh Festival, where Henze conducted the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in the premiere of Cotton’s Abendland. Returning to the United States in 1985, Cotton then studied with George Crumb, Jay Reise, Chinary Ung and Richard Wernick at the University of Pennsylvania as an Annenberg Fellow, receiving his M.A. and Ph.D. in 1989.
