Justin DeHart: Moon Viewing Music
30th June, 7pm
Arts Centre Recital Room
Free entry, registration required
Join us for an evening of solo percussion, moonlight, and new music.
At the centre of the programme is Peter Garland’s Moon Viewing Music, a quiet and spacious six-movement work for three large gongs and tam-tam. Low, slow, and resonant, the piece invites listeners into a world of stillness, shadow, and suspended time.
The evening will also include two solo percussion premieres by New Zealand composers Leonie Holmes and Gillian Whitehead. Holmes’ Recitative III for Percussion and Electronics unfolds as a conversation between recorded sounds and their live-performed counterparts, while Whitehead’s the edge of dread and dance adds a further dimension of metallic and resonant timbres to the programme.
In keeping with the spirit of Garland’s work, audiences will also have the opportunity to view the moon through telescopes provided by UC’s School of Physical and Chemical Sciences.
A rare evening of resonance, reflection, and lunar listening.
