the breath of the hammer concert in Beijing - Chao

Bruce Gremo Multiple flutes / Burnett Thompson piano

This program of improvisation features two internationally seasoned performers who bridge the worlds of classical interpretation and improvisation. They will perform two sets defined in part by Bruce Gremo’s instrumentation. The acoustic set uses c flute, glissando flute, alto flute and bass flute. The second half will use Japanese shakuhachi and its digital descendent, the Cilia. Burnett Thompson’s vast experience in piano stylings out of the jazz and classical traditions promises that the piano will be redefined and redefined again in the different contexts provided by Gremo.
