International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and percussionist and conductor Steven Schick present the world premiere of TOUCH : TRACE, a new work by Zosha Di Castri. TOUCH : TRACE explores the importance of intimacy and human contact in an increasingly isolated world. The remainder of the program features works programmed by Ensemble members.
TOUCH:TRACE explores the importance of intimacy and human contact in an increasingly isolated world. In musical terms, touch exists in the space between a conductor’s gesture and the sounds the ensemble procures; in the physical contact between the artist and the materiality of their instrument; in the communication between performers; and in the connection between performers and the audience. In this new work, Di Castri investigates the organic and theatrical space of tactile engagement that is at the core of the creation of music.
