Michael Gordon's "Timber," performed by Mantra Percussion

This concert marks the Florida premiere of a new work by Michael Gordon, noted American composer and founder/co-director of Bang on a Can, the legendary contemporary music organization in New York. "Timber" is a concert-length tour de force, scored for six graduated wooden Simantras - percussion instruments devised by French composer Iannis Xenakis. In this new work, Gordon shapes the music in both polyrhythmic and dynamic waves of textures. Buy tickets online at donate.ncf.edu/events.
