- **Event Description**: Petr Kotík conducts S.E.M. Ensemble performing Many Many Women, Kotík's iconic, monumental composition.About this EventThe Czech Center New York presents an evening dedicated to Many Many Women, an iconic large-scale composition by Czech-American composer and conductor Petr Kotík, performed by the S.E.M. Ensemble at Bohemian National Hall.Composed between 1975 and 1978 on the complete text of Gertrude Stein’s novella of the same name, Many Many Women stands as one of Kotík’s most radical and enduring works. A full performance lasts nearly six hours; this concert presents a curated version that preserves the work’s structural rigor and meditative intensity.Written for paired voices and instruments moving in parallel fifths, fourths, and octaves, the piece unfolds through iterative structures and silences. There is no conventional narrative development and no imposed expressivity. Instead, the music advances through Stein’s principle of “the un-change” — repetition as transformation, duration as form.A long-time collaborator of John Cage — and the longest living musical collaborator of Cage — Kotík has shaped the transatlantic experimental music landscape since the 1960s. His work bridges the aesthetics of the New York School and a distinctly European harmonic sensibility, creating a language that remains singular within contemporary composition.The concert coincides with the 2026 Sub Rosa release of Many Many Women, a newly recorded version reflecting current performance practice.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/6d6be0d0-0d2a-11f1-ab5f-dbf419f4c4a8-rimg-w1200-h602-dcd8ceb2-gmir.jpg Presented as part of the Czech Center’s ongoing Offbeat Bohemia music series, the evening highlights Kotík’s uncompromising artistic vision and the enduring relevance of experimental composition across generations.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/6da1e4f0-0d2a-11f1-a8a2-8fecd824cacd-rimg-w1200-h674-dcbfc5d2-gmir.jpg Petr Kotík (b. 1942, Prague) is a Czech-American composer, conductor, and flutist who has lived in the United States since 1969.

Ensemble in 1970 and has built a distinctive transatlantic platform for experimental music for more than five decades.Kotík collaborated closely with John Cage from 1964 to 1992 and is the longest living musical collaborator of Cage. In 2022, he received the John Cage Award from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. He is also the founder of the international festival and institute Ostrava Days (2001) and co-founder of the New Opera Days Ostrava (NODO).
