With a percussionist’s gestures projected onto an enormous screen to trigger sound, image, and surprise, this is a musical performance as you’ve never seen or heard it before.
Also on the program: a tribute to the masterful Pierre Boulez in honour of his centenary, a luminous multi-cello work by Kaija Saariaho, and the world premiere of new work Break My Hands! by NMC’s Composer-in-Residence, Rashaan Allwood.
