Primary Duo: Sarah Bob, piano, and Aaron Trant, percussion, perform Star V,  an exploration of varying levels of indeterminacy for piano and percussion in three movements: 1. They Stir Waters, 2. Gold Radiation and 3. Star Blink. This composition is about doing and not doing, choosing one and not the other, and not choosing. Sarah Bob founding artistic director of the New Gallery Concert Series, and Aaron Trant, composer in his own right, have been bringing their eclectic combination of rhythmic lyricism as Primary Duo to concert halls across North America since 2000. With a repertoire that ranges from masterworks of the contemporary genre to self-commissioned world premieres (including Star V), Trant and Bob’s individual strengths brought together create an ensemble rich with improvisation, jazz, classical, avant garde, and pop.
