Doors open 8:00pmTatsuya Nakatani solo + N.G.O. (Nakatani Gong Orchestra w/ 6 local participants)
ABOUT THE EVENT
Experimental percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani returns to Richmond with
his array of drums, singing bowls, cymbals, bows, sticks, and gongs
for another incredible performance. This concert will feature both a
solo set by Tatsuya, and a collaboration with six local participants
(Peter Baldes, Tony Brown, Liz Canfield, Scott Hudgins, Will
O’Donovan, and Gina Sonderegger) to form the Nakatani Gong Orchestra.
At the core of the N.G.O. is 40-inch gong that creates extremely
low-frequency sound waves. These low, ebbing sounds are layered with
the tones of the other gongs to create a pool of sounds that can be
felt deep in the body.Local Participants:
– Peter Baldes (Laurel Street neighbor) is an artist and educator currently teaching media arts at VCU.
– Tony Brown is a musician and tradesman based in Richmond VA.
– Liz Canfield (Pine Street neighbor) as an artist and educator at VCU.
