Friday, February 16th
The Glass Percussion Project
Elaine Miles (glass installation artist) and Eugene Ughetti (solo percussion)

Amongst an innovative labyrinth of glass instruments a live percussion performance will unfold around themes of air, wind, thunder, water, and divine melody. The Glass Percussion Project is a collaborative initiative between Glass Artist Elaine Miles and percussionist and composer Eugene Ughetti. Elaine Miles has hand blown a very large collection of glass that is resonant and both harmonically complex and pure. The event will feature glass percussion instruments: over 200 gongs, 250 bowls, 40 udu drums, various wind-chimes, bars and a collection of suspended sheets and shards.
