Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan
Description
Be transported straight to the heart of West Java, Indonesia, during this captivating musical performance by Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan (ECCG) with special guests, composer Ade Suparman and dancer Nurrika.
ECCG performs on the gamelan, an Indonesian collection of bronze (and sometimes bamboo) instruments including flutes, gongs, and drums. Its work is featured on film soundtracks including Antoine Fischer and The Ice Storm. ECCG composer Mychael Danna won the 2013 Oscar for Original Best Score for the Life of Pi.
During this performance ECCG celebrates its 35th anniversary as well as the 100th anniversary of the birth of its mentor, Lou Harrison. Expertly moving between traditional Indonesian and European and North American repertoires, the group’s eight Toronto-based musicians present new arrangements of Harrison’s work and premiere a new work by composer Peter Hatch.
Joining the group are two visiting artists: Sundanese composer/musician Ade Suparman and dancer/choreographer Nurrika.
