TNT | Rushes Ensemble & Mantra Percussion
This TNT presentation features two kaleidoscopic concert-length, thematically-linked works for single instrument-families: Rushes for 7 bassoons (The Rushes Ensemble) and Timber for six percussionists (Mantra Percussion). Each work was written by Michael Gordon (co-founder of New York City’s Bang On a Can), one of America’s most adventurous composers, who creates music characterized by “vigor and hypnotic intensity” (The New York Times). Both works will be presented back to back in an environment that invites curious audiences to sit, walk or lie down as they take in the trance-inducing music.
