Thursday Lunchtimes: New Music and Movement In Focus

Our Spring In Focus takes a deep dive into works by composers who are redefining the relationship between music and movement. Over the course of the day, staff and students will examine how sound influences the physicality of musicians, while their movements, in turn, reshape the performance, resulting in a dynamic blend of auditory and visual expression. Programme to include: Cathy Berberian Stripsody Mark Applebaum Darmstadt Kindergarten Meriel Price Your Rope About Part of our New Music and Movement In Focus, this kinetic lunchtime performance features pieces which sit at the intersection of music and full-bodied performance art. Cathy Berberian?s Stripsody explores the onomatopoeic sounds of comic strips for solo vocalist, Mark Applebaum?s Darmstadt Kindergarten for string quartet showcases how music can be powerfully expressed even in the absence of sound, and Meriel Price?s Your Rope ends the concert with a surprisingly physical workout for four skipping performers.
