Higdon’s five movement work will fill the entire second half of the program, but not without a who’s-who of composers represented beforehand, including Kenji Bunch’s “The Still, Small Voice,” Viet Cuong’s “Next Week’s Trees,” Jessie Montgomery’s “Voodoo Dolls,” Caroline Shaw’s “Valencia” and Paul Wiancko’s “Toy Bricks.
Need proof of just how innovative the dance company is? The organization, helmed by Lydia Hance, has performed wherever space allows, including the METRORail, a U-Haul and the downtown tunnels. The concert has unexpected twists with the many elements “at play.” The program not only incorporates visual representation with dance, but it also showcases spontaneity and freedom for individual musicians as Kinetic Ensemble is a conductor-less orchestra. In addition, attendees will witness untraditional sounds not often heard in a classical setting like improvisation, percussive sounds of chopping and tapping, humming, snapping and a few other surprises.
