Monday February 3rd – 8pm doors, 8:30pm show.
We welcome new music percussionist Michael Jones to the Red Room all the way from San Diego, CA. Joined by local duo Ida Dierker & Brandon Gouin.
Michael Jones
Michael is a percussionist and conductor based in Southern California. He has been
described by Fanfare Magazine as a “phenomenal player” whose “restraint… carries the music
through with otherworldly sounds.” His work focuses on championing new pieces of the 21st
century as well as works from the 20th century avant-garde. He is particularly interested in
touch, resonance, and the enchanted currents of sounding objects. Composers he has worked
closely with include Scott Wollschleger, Nicholas Deyoe, David Macbride, Kevin Good, pluto
pell, and Matt Sargent. He has performed at the LA Philharmonic’s Noon-to-Midnight Festival,
The Ojai Music Festival, The Other Minds Festival, Monday Evening Concerts, The Dog Star
Orchestra Festival, and the Hartford New Music Festival.
For this event Michael presents two new works by composers Matt Sargent and Scott Wollschleger. Through percussion, they explore the concepts of touch, resonance, time, and, more broadly, the enchanted currents of material objects.
