The eclectic afternoon begins with the world premiere of Cleveland composer Ty Alan Emerson’s piece for percussion and electronics, The Percussionists’ Grimoire. A grimoire is a book of magic spells and like those texts, numerology and symbolism inspire the musical choices of the work. Instruments utilized in this collection range from solo tambourine to drum set. There is also an electronic solo work comprised of sounds from a waterphone. This first installment, composed for and performed by Dylan Moffitt, is made possible through the Ohio Arts Council Individual Artists Opportunity Grant.
