NEW@NIGHT: Elemental Keyboards at The Old Church

Few realize that the piano is, technically, a percussion instrument. Tonight, we’ll explore percussive musical innovations inspired by Beethoven’s piano, including marimba, percussion, keyboard, piano, and even percussive cello. Experience these unique works by Keiko Abe, Clancy Newman, Juri Seo, and our CMNW Co-Commissioned World Premiere of Kyle Rivera’s new music for multiple keyboards and percussion—and meet some
of the composers as well!

CMNW Co-Commission • World Premiere

Kyle Rivera’s new work was commissioned by Emerging Voices—a groundbreaking collaboration by Chamber Music Northwest, Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival, and Seattle Chamber Music Society—supporting young, emerging composers of color.
