Sepideh Raissadat will perform with the legendary Nexus Percussion ensemble at the Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto.
Pieces by Steve Reich, one of the most influential contemporary American composers, Louis Hardin (Moondog) and Reza Ghassemi, the renowned Iranian novelist and composer are parts of the concert.
Nexus : Bob Becker, Bill Cahn, Russell Hartenberger, Garry Kvistad
Vocalist: Sepideh Raissadat
The first, entirely improvised NEXUS concert in 1971 marked the formation of a group that would touch and entertain people of all levels of musical learning, in all genres of percussion music. Bob Becker, Bill Cahn, Russell Hartenberger and Garry Kvistad are virtuosos alone, and bring elements of their knowledge and character to a distinct and powerful whole. They stand out in the contemporary music scene for the innovation and diversity of their programs, their impressive history of collaborations and commissions, their revival of 1920′s novelty ragtime xylophone music, and their influential improvisatory ideas.
