I’m happy to return to the Soundings series at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas to perform Grisey’s masterwork Le Noir de l’Étoile!
Scored for six percussionists arrayed around the audience, this work is based on the discovery of the pulsar, or the residue created by supernova explosions, and the sounds that they make.
Joining me will be an all-star group of percussionists: Greg Beyer, Tim Feeney, Ayano Kataoka, Eduardo Leandro, and Doug Perkins!
We will perform the work TWICE – once at 8 and once at 11. Each performance will be preceded by a talk by astronomer Matthew Shetrone of the McDonald Observatory.
