IN THE THEATER:
Cordis Quartet with LehrerDance
Saturday, February 4th—7:00PM
For over a decade the contemporary quartet Cordis has been redefining contemporary chamber music by fusing an original combination of custom-made and traditional ethnic instruments to create their signature sound. Although the ensemble is built upon cello (Jeremy Harman), concert cimbalom (Richard Grimes), piano (Oscar Rodriguez), and percussion (Andrew Beall) - one-of-a-kind creations such as the electric mbira, melodica, and world’s longest playing cylinder-driven music box also have a way of weaving their way into any given performance. Time Out New York said, (Cordis) makes a strong case for both sides of its musical personality - expanding the boundaries of chamber music. NewMusicBox.com concurred, “Cordis offers an intriguing mix of instrumentation, and Grimes uses them well to show of his unique perspective on 21st century chamber music. They are currently touring with a small ensemble of dancers from Buffalo, fusing these two art forms.
