• Info

  Rhythm; one of the most basic and compelling attributes of music.

  Curated by Kevin Rogers, every piece on this program has some blend of the most difficult, challenging, and delightful rhythmic play inside of it. From Thomas Adés’s brilliant use of irrational time signatures (you read that right!) to the high octane music of Trevor Weston that Friction Quartet cuts its teeth on. Also featured is the imaginative music of Vivian Fung, merging machinary and biology, and a series of arrangements of tunes written by Tigran Hamasyan, one of the greatest Jazz pianists alive today.

  Come see the full breadth of rhythmic expression and experience some Hard Times!
