CUSP is proud to present the return of avant-garde percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani to Cleveland. Nakatani will be accompanied by CUSP Improvisation Orchestra, a chamber orchestra of acoustic instrumental musicians who will join together for the first time that night. With Nakatani as the featured soloist, they will collaboratively perform a concert-length structured improvisation centered around the immersive sounds of Japanese gongs and other percussion, along with the orchestral timbres of strings, woodwinds, and brass.
$15 recommended ticket price or pay what you can. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
