Wadada Leo Smith: Four Symphonies
Trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist, creative composer/performer and author Wadada Leo Smith’s Four Symphonies is part of his Ankhrasmation work. “Smith defines his music as “Creative Music,” and his diverse discography reveals a recorded history of music centered in the idea of spiritual harmony and the unification of social and cultural issues of his world. He has created Ankhrasmation, a symbolic image-based language for performers or musicians.” The work will be performed by Cath Roberts, Charlotte Keeffe, Tullis Rennie and Claudia Molitor.
Live computer music composer and performer Atau Tanaka and composer, improviser and cellist Chris Chafe will perform a networked duo between London and California. Produced by IKLECTIK with technical assistance by Nathan Adams and Synthia Payne.
