Grammy Award–winning quartet Third Coast Percussion reimagines the iconoclastic player piano compositions of architect and self-taught composer Bruce Goff in this special performance inspired by "Bruce Goff: Material Worlds."
Third Coast Percussion first debuted a performance of these pieces in 2014. This year, they completed arrangements for all Goff’s works for the player piano and are presenting the full suite in live performance for the very first time at the Art Institute. The performance combines direct transcriptions of Goff’s quirky, beautiful, and at times fiendishly difficult musical works with the ensemble’s expansion and reimagination of the musical fragments and experiments that Goff left behind.
Made possible by the Carol Given Winston Fund for Docent and Patron Education.
