Frequency Series

beyond this point is joined by Matthew Duvall of Eighth Blackbird for an evening celebrating the numerous, varied approaches to percussion performance. The program’s first half features a collection of immersive, contemplative, and powerful works that explore the very substance of what defines the world of percussion: the base materials (stone, seed, metal, skin, cactus, wood) activated to musical purpose. The second half features Mauricio Kagel’s wildly absurd Dressur, a half-hour trio utilizing over 50 instruments and non-instruments--creating sound of theater and theater out of sound.
