The Bangers and Crash Percussion Group is a collective of Irish percussionists who regularly collaborate for a wide range of projects. To open the concert, a lively piece by Emmanuel Séjourné called “Losa”, inspired by dance rhythms of Spanish Flamenco music. An Irish premiere follows, a Bon Iver inspired composition by Ivan Trevino: “2+1”. Alex Petcu will perform on vibraphone “Falling Embers” by Ella Macens, composed as a meditation for peace and relief from the fires that raged across the Australian landscape in the summer of 2019-20. Caitríona Frost will perform an original work on marimba composed on residency at Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris. “And So the Wind Blew” by Gene Koshinski focuses on the sounds of nature and is inspired by gamelan and world music.
