TRK Presents Derrick Spiva Jr. in BRIDGE TO EVERYWHERE
By: A.A. Cristi
TRK is proud to present LA-based composer-conductor Derrick Spiva Jr. and Bridge to Everywhere, a 16-piece ensemble dedicated to performing music by composers who celebrate cultural diversity through interwoven musical traditions.
"Music without Borders" features five world-premieres of original works by Spiva, all inspired by traditional music from Ghana, India, Mexico, Eastern Europe and beyond.
The orchestral works combine minimalist aesthetics of Steve Reich and John Adams with West African traditional rhythms and classical Hindustani melodic shapes and cycles. In addition to other world-fusion oriented pop pieces drawing from hip-hop, rock, metal, and Mexican, Balkan, Indian, and African folk music.
