About the piece and performers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Table Music<\/i>\u00a0by Thierry De Mey is for three percussionists, each using a small table as their only instrument. The players explore the table itself, striking\u00a0the table in different ways in order to introduce new sounds and ways of thinking about music through the lens of ordinary objects. About the piece, Thierry De Mey says, “The challenge of Table Music<\/i>\u00a0is to approach the sensitive line between music and the gestures that produce sound, to put your finger on the line of demarcation between dance and music: the visual and choreographic aspect in perfect balance of importance with the sound and the musicality of the interpretation.”<\/p>\n
