W hat if you could see music? In this powerhouse collaboration, Cathie Boyd and her Glasgow-based arts organization, Cryptic, join forces with Third Coast Percussion for an evening of music "presented visually." Their staging of Peter Garland's tender, delicate Apple Blossom gives way to David T. Little's powerful Haunt of Last Nightfall. Described as a "ghost play" inspired by the 1981 massacre in El Salvador, "the music moves from rusticity through violence, despair, and outrage in this eloquent account by Chicago's versatile, resourceful Third Coast Percussion," according to Steve Smith in the New York Times. The world premiere of Gavin Bryars's The Other Side of the River, commissioned by Peak Performances and the University of Notre Dame especially for Third Coast Percussion, provides a perfect conclusion to this immersive experience in which music, lighting, films, and staging come together to ravish the senses.
