Baltimore’s Mobtown Modern presents Mantra Percussionperforming Michael Gordon’s tour de force, Timber, an evening length work written for percussion sextet. Scored for six graduated wooden Simantras – Greek liturgical percussion instruments used by world renowned composer Iannis Xenakis – the work brings the physicality, endurance and technique of percussion performance to a new level. Gordon shapes the music in both polyrhythmic and dynamic waves of textures. Often each player’s hands are in separate rhythmic “worlds”, each traversing a different dynamic contour. At 2640 Space, (Red Emma’s Bookstore Coffehouse), 2640 St. Paul. Street, Baltimore. Tickets $10 and $5 for students.
