    Bang on a Can: Animal/Mineral

    ArtBreaks are facilitated gallery experiences led by a variety of guest artists, scholars, and community members.
    In connection with the common S E N S E, Bang on a Can will play music that explores our musical relationships with the animal and mineral worlds. Bang on a Can All-Stars percussionist David Cossin plays the “tiger drums” that he made famous on the award-winning soundtrack to the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and then Bang on a Can All-Stars bassist Robert Black will play Jim Tenney’s elemental and visceral “Beast.” The two musicians then join forces for John Cage’s monumental “Ryoanji,” a transformation into sound of a trip Cage took through a Japanese rock garden. After the performance, we invite you to stay for a discussion with the group.
    Experience all the Bang on a Can you can this weekend! Be sure to catch their six-hour marathon on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 15) at the Moore Theatre, presented by our friends at Seattle Theatre Group.
