North Wind Concerts | Encircling the World #5 – Drums
November 9 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
PWYCWith music as its focus, Encircling the World is an ongoing performance project designed to illuminate and share the common experience of musicians from varied and diverse traditions. What do we share, what do we have in common despite apparent differences? What is this thing called music, and does it help us to better understand one another?
Join us for the fifth instalment of our EtW series, this time with a focus on drums, with
- MARILYN GEORGE, voice, dehwehgun, Nimkii dehwehgun;
- GRAHAM HARGROVE, bodhrán, rhythm bones;
- HOOMAN TOOTOONCHIAN, daf, tombak, dayereh.
This evening of solo and group music making, commentary and artist-audience conversation brings together musicians from Anishiinabe, Irish and Persian playing traditions. The hand drum is the common meeting point here, but bones, voice and a few drum ‘add-ons’ – the Ojibwe thunder drum, for one – will broaden the sonic horizons!
Each player will offer a solo set and speak about their musical life, instruments, musical background, goals – whatever they see as most meaningful to share. They’ll also improvise some music together, and the audience will be able to interact with questions and discussion. Join us for an ear- and mind-opening evening!
