WAAPA Residency
Time as Revelator
October 14 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Rhythm is the pattern of time in music. It makes us move, it maps out our days, and it is intrinsic to the vitality of so many cultures around the world. Time as Revelator celebrates the power of the beat and the passage of time. Not shying away from a steady pulse, and with the occasional futuristic glitch thrown in, the program features original works for instrumental chamber combinations, while celebrating the 100th anniversary of Xenakis’s birth with the contrapuntal sonic blocks of Plekto (braids). Be immersed in funky grooves and toe-tapping rhythms performed by the virtuosic musicians of Ensemble Offspring – and not a drum machine in sight!
