Speak Softly

Detroit Bureau of Sound turns 2! Returning to the fabled Rivera Court as part of the DIA’s Friday Night Live series with music that’s minimal, hypnotic, and all made by living composers. Works for percussion quartet by David T. Little, Elliot Cole, Steve Reich, and a world premiere by DBS director Zac Brunell will be delivered on the first half of the program – the second half will feature a special guest artist, soon to be announced.

our sickness (movement III of how it begins / how it ends) (world premiere/preview)

our sickness is a furious keen for solo cello, excoriating and lamenting the American mass shooting epidemic, and based on one year of mass shooter data. A jarring and violent work, it was commissioned by the London Sinfonietta as part of its Sinfonietta Shorts program. It also serves at the third movement of the cello suite how it begins / how it ends, commissioned by American cellist Brian Snow. The world premiere of our sickness will take place at the London Sinfonietta’s World Premiere Wednesday, a private breakfast event on Wednesday 25 July 2018, 8.30-10.00am at Rotunda Private Dining Room, Kings Place.
