RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

November 28, 2018

TILT Brass premieres Vertical Octet, a new site-responsive acoustic work for brass octet composed by Lea Bertucci, amongst sculptures by Alexander Calder and paintings by Ellsworth Kelly at Lévy Gorvy Gallery’s landmarked building at 73rd and Madison in Manhattan.

Lea Bertucci Performance

Inspired by the Calder / Kelly exhibition, composer Lea Bertucci was commissioned to create an immersive spatial music composition utilizing the natural acoustics and highly resonant spaces of our landmark building for the TILT Brass ensemble. The piece titled 'Vertical Motion', drew on Calder’s palpable transformation of space and Kelly’s distillation of natural forms into their purest abstraction, as the musicians spread across three floors of the gallery, passed tones up and down the stairs in quiet meditation and swells of dynamic reverberation..#LevyGorvy #CalderKelly #AlexanderCalder #EllsworthKelly #LeaBertucci #TILTBrass #LGsalon.All Alexander Calder artworks © 2018 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.
