Open Field: New Music for Percussion

Percussionists Bill Solomon, Jennifer Torrence, and Trevor Saint present an evening of music by Bard music professor Matt Sargent and emerging composers Henry Birdsey and Nora Knight. The performance at WAAM by the internationally-acclaimed performers will have a focus on the sounds of the Hudson Valley. The evening includes Nora Knight’s composition, “The Open Field; The View Across the Open Space,” which is based around field recordings made by the artist at Clermont State Park in Columbia County.
