Imaginary City: So Percussion
7:00 PM-10:00 PM
Weston Auditorium
- $22 adults, $20 seniors, $7 under 18
Many of us have heard the expression found art to describe objects not usually considered art, and generally have some other function, but still can be found to be aesthetic, intriguing and beautiful. Now think of what something like found music might sound like and what sort of instruments might be used, how the simplest objects might be plied with the greatest of skill and artistry.
Think tea cups and brake drums, gardening tools and planks of wood. And think orchestration and symphonics, drumming and rhythm, acoustic, electronic and the ordinary becoming extraordinary. Put them all together and youve got the fantastic, indescribable sounds and mesmerizing performances of the Brooklyn quartet So Percussion. Since 1999, when they met at the Yale School of Music, this foursome has merged percussion with emotions, resulting in music called astonishing and entrancing by Billboard Magazine, and brilliant by the New York Times. Join So Percussion in a performance where even a flower pot and a piece of aluminum can sing its inner song.
