Brush Voice: Form, Line, Music

Brush Voice, Ardesco's second production features a collaboration with internationally known ink brush painter, Sung-Sook Setton. Brush Voice explores the relationships between visual and aural gestures while telling a tale of the search for a meaningful simplicity in the yearly cycle. Each of three acts will represent in turn; spring (emergence), summer (abundance) and fall-winter (purification). A mysterious guide, part visual gesture, part music and musician leads the audience and performers through to a wondrous conclusion. Works by: Beethoven, Ligeti, Meyer, Zorn, Yun, Robison, Walker

Astralis: exploring man's relation to the stars

Astralis explores mans relation to the stars through a visual and musical history of our conception of the universe. Compositions spanning nearly the complete canon of western music provide counterpoint to images of stars, constellations, planets and galaxies blended by the subtle play of light over a set of scrims. The show consists of 9 chamber music pieces played by performer/composers. Between each piece is an approximately 1 minute interlude improvised by a single member of the group. Works by: Bach, Ravel, Bartok, Glass, Proto, Robison, Walker
