Sarasota News Leader January 4, 2013 Page 85 LERNER TO PRESENT CONCERT AT NEW COLLEGE New College New Music will present Dreamwork, featuring pianist Marilyn Lerner, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19, in the Mildred Sainer Music and Arts Pavilion, 5313 Bay Shore Road, Sarasota. Widely recorded and internationally renowned, ���Lerner���s work speaks to improvisation, not just as an approach to music making, but as a way of life, a mode of being that is accessible to all of us in our daily lives,��� a news release says. Among her best-known recordings are Luminance, Romanian Fantasy and Special Angel, the release adds. ���Her intimate knowledge of the piano, combined with a fearless experimental and passionate spirit, render her a true original,��� the release points out. Lerner���s work spans the worlds of jazz, creative improvisation, klezmer and 20th century classical music, the release says. She composes for film, theatre, radio and television. Additionally, she is an audio artist, and she ���has created a series of soundscapes using samples of sounds she collects in the natural environment,��� the release points out. Lerner is also a practicing psychotherapist and an analyst in training at the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis. While at New College, she will discuss how her artistic work and her therapeutic work inform each other and how her practice in both arenas is informed by and informs her feminism, the release adds. That discussion will be part of a session co-sponsored by the college���s Gender Studies Program, the release says.
