Humble Servant

Humble Servant is a solo percussion concert of works written for Andy Meyerson, The Living Earth Show’s percussionist and Artistic Director. Five new works by some of the most innovative composers in the United States explore the tension inherent in repetition, resonance, and ritual: the core of rhythm and the percussive tradition.

Sarah Hennies and Amadeus Regucera utilize ritual and resonance in the service of exploring queerness and the inherent violence therein, while Samuel Adams, Adrian Knight, and Christopher Cerrone, use these tools to explore the sonic potential of the interplay between electronic and acoustic resonating bodies.

Together, the program illustrates the vibrancy, intimacy, and power of the next generation of percussion music.
