Underground

A Performance Work for Miniature Percussion

“an intimate miracle” – RealTime

Underground is a musical performance unlike any other. Two percussionists perform with sculptural miniature percussionist instruments on tables. Audiences of eight are seated at the tables, close enough to reach out and touch the performance. This strangely familiar setting invites the audience to listen to subtle and intricate sounds in a completely different way.

Underground combines the intimacy of a small concert, with the beauty and intrigue of Rosemary Joy’s hand-crafted miniature percussion instrument sculptures and music by composer David Young.
