The Flyover New Music Series’ program, Sway, on Tuesday, February 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Westbrook Recital Hall is filled with motion in time. Ian Whillock’s titular piece draws its inspiration from the lilting rhythms of Afro-Cuban music; Drew Firkins’ piano trilogy uses vivid colors to paint shooting stars, monster-movie chases, and tears falling down cheeks. Our other three composers explore different types of motion: time-warp juxtaposition of the Classical era to the jazz era, the slow dissolution of a physical object, the emotional whiplash of moving from one side of a climactic moment to another.
The Flyover New Music Series, aka Flyover New Music, is the new music series from the composition studio at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Glenn Korff School of Music. The series is administered and overseen by composition faculty and students.
The performance is free and open to the public.
