Music by Dorothy Chang: Insect - Water - Heart with Dinosaur Annex Music Ensemble
7:30 – 9:30PM
Dinosaur Annex Music Ensemble continues its 51st season with a concert in Waltham, MA, with music focused on mind, body, and environment, as the ensemble continues to explore a new era of passionately bringing cutting-edge music of living composers to a diverse public.
The program features Dorothy Chang’s Walk on Water, which considers this sacred natural resource as a metaphor for time – “the flow of time, the stream or tide of time.” Described as “evocative and kaleidoscopic” and “beautiful and gripping”, Chang’s music reflects an eclectic mix of musical influences ranging from popular and folk music to elements of traditional Chinese music. Many of her works are inspired by place, time, memory, and the question of cultural identity. Dorothy’s catalog includes over eighty compositions, including works for mixed Chinese and Western ensembles as well those involving staging, movement, theatre and dance.
Other works include Luke Blackburn’s Menagerie of Spectacular Creatures: Insecta and Keyna Wilkins’ A Glimpse into Eternity and Scorched Earth.
