University of Hawaiʻi Contemporary Music Ensemble: Voices from Aotearoa

The University of Hawaiʻi Contemporary Music Ensemble (Thomas Osborne, director) presents a concert featuring the music of composers from New Zealand. The program includes two works by Salina Fisher: Lumina, a piece inspired by bioluminescent glowworms, and Kintsugi, based on the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. Gemma Peacocke is represented twice on the program as well, with Death Wish for four percussionists and A Memory for soprano and chamber ensemble. Also on the program is Dylan Lardelli’s Two Bells, inspired by the Japanese dance-drama Noh and Gareth Farr’s percussion quartet inspired by Rarotongan log drumming, Little Sea Gongs.
