In all of our 25 years of bringing new music and new visual art to our audiences, connection has always been a priority. Looking to the LGBTQ+ community as a beacon of hope and inspiration, tonight’s program invites us to reflect upon our humanity, rekindle our commitment to our values, and reconnect with our deepest, truest selves.

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.

It’s personal: how we see the world and beyond it, how we relate and carry on. How do we connect, celebrate, see each other at a deeper level? Lifetimes of groove and grit, sinking in and transcending above.
