Sō Percussion - Imaginary City
Feb. 12 - 13, 2010
The New York Times described Sō Percussion as "brilliant" and Billboard Magazine called them "Astonishing." Imaginary City is the newest work by Brooklyn´s Sō Percussion . They have collaborated with filmmaker Jenise Treuting to capture the sounds and images of several cities — from Treuting´s home in Tokyo to the vast skies of Helena, MT; to the mountains of Denver, CO; through the heartland of Cleveland, OH and the New England landscape of Burlington, VT and to the urban jungle of Houston. to emphasize the uniqueness and commonalities between the various cities. The performance will center around Sō Percussion´s utilization of percussion instruments to communicate the extremes of emotion and musical possibility.
Imaginary City is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation Fund Project co-commissioned by DiverseWorks, Myrna Loy Center/ Helena, Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, and the NPN. Major contributors to the NPN are the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Ford Foundation, The Nathan Cummings Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency).
