join us after the concert for a special reception in Cary Hall
to celebrate the end of the year
Qiujiang Levi Lu opens the night with a new solo performance—drawing from their body of work featuring augmented amplified laptop, special microphones and speakers placed in bodily orifices, and their custom-mapped flight joystick controller. Their choreographed, ritualistic improvisations that build on ancient Chinese drumming traditions, exploring their relationship to body, dysmorphia, sexuality, spirituality, and mortality—linking sound, movement, and violence in divine ceremony.
TAK will present four works by composers Zeynep Toraman, Seare Farhat, inti figgis-vizueta, and Eric Wubbels that envelope listeners in sonic textures that shift with the softest corners. Delicate, shimmering fabrics of sound gradually emerge, overlap with new entities, and evaporate, leaving behind a sweetly tangled sense of communal memory. Repetition invites fluctuation and gradual permutations of rhythms, locked in with acute precision, celebrates the ensemble’s joyful and intense attunement.
