BIKEncerto: a concerto for solo bicycle and orchestra is a live performance by Somerville-based percussionist and composer Reynaliz Herrera, performing as bicycle percussion soloist alongside her ensemble Ideas, Not Theories. The work features the bicycle as a solo instrument accompanied by strings and woodwinds, with each movement highlighting a specific characteristic of the instrument, from tuned tire pressures to melodic fragments drawn from spokes and metal frame components. The piece reconciles Herrera's classical conservatory training with her long-standing exploration of the bicycle as a musical instrument, and the 2023 album of the same name was included in The Boston Globe's "Best of Boston Music" list. This Boston performance takes place as part of a live studio taping of GBH's The Culture Show at the Boston Public Library Studio.
