Wilco’s Glenn Kotche joins Third Coast Percussion to present his expansive Wild Sound, a new piece written for the group that sees the onstage construction and destruction of instruments custom-designed by Kotche and University of Notre Dame engineers. Incorporating found recordings from Kotche’s travels around the world, the piece is a sonic investigation into everyday life and our propensity to create and destroy. With music by Steve Reich and Glenn Kotche and performances by Kotche and Third Coast Percussion, the evening expands the definition of music as heard in both natural and urban settings.

Wild Sound is commissioned by the University of Notre Dame’s DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra’s Liquid Music series.
