TO THE EARTH: A Ceramic, Wood, Masonry, and Metal Percussion Orchestra
November 22 @ 8:00 pm
- This event has passed.
Frederic Rzewski’s To The Earth for speaking percussionist is used as an artistic departure point, flowing into an evening length structured improvisation by 10 percussionists using ceramic flower pots, 2×4 wood planks, cinder blocks, and galvanized steel pipes, punctuated by The Dolphins Quartet layering in a movement from Dvořák’s 10th string quartet, and brass musicians sounding horn calls through the pipes, echoing the ancient Celtic “carnyx.”
