THIRD COAST PERCUSSION AND GLENN KOTCHE: Wild Sound - SOLD OUT
Details
About This Program
Approximate length 2:00
“One of the country’s finest new music ensembles” (Chicago Reader), Chicago-based Third Coast Percussion are dedicated to exploring new sounds through their “vibrant, superb” playing (New Yorker) of ground-breaking percussion repertoire. With "unfailing taste, technique, and discipline" (Chicago Tribune), Wilco’s Glenn Kotche joins Third Coast 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.
