Concert

This rare and immersive concert-event brings together the creative forces of Sixtrum (Canada) and the legendary Percussions de Strasbourg (France) in a production that is as visual as it is auditory, where the choreography of gestures becomes a spectacle. 

Two of the most daring percussion ensembles on the contemporary scene come together to bring to life the powerful and hypnotic soundscape of Field of Vision, a monumental work by American composer Michael Gordon (co-founder of Bang on a Can). Conceived as a total sensory experience, Field of Vision transforms the space into a vibrant field of resonances and pulsations. Thirty-six percussionists scattered throughout the space, fifty identical instruments, a rhythm that spreads like a wave... each beat is an invitation to redefine our perception of time, space, and sound. 

Michael Gordon’s music merges subtle rhythmic invention with incredible power embodying the fury of punk rock, the nervous brilliance of free jazz and the intransigence of classical modernism.” -  The New Yorker
