Piece Description
Stefon Harris explores five ways to experience rhythm, with the remarkable duo Synchronicity Plus ("George Washington Never Slept Here") to the young tabla player, SUPHALA, the contemporary ensemble ANTARES, UK's acoustic band FLOOK and pianist TANYA BANNISTER. "Rhythm: it's how we dance from one beat to the next. And no musical form is better at clueing us in on rhythm than the theme and variations. With the theme and variation, you get the tune at the top and then hear it evolve as the composer explores a variety of rhythmic and harmonic possibilities."
