Join us as AMOC* artists traverse centuries and landscapes in two programs that bring audiences from the Summer sunset to theatrical night. The first, at 7:00pm, includes Cassandra Miller’s About Bach—a patient meditation on melody, memory, and the passage of time at the day’s end—and Andrew McIntosh’s Little Jimmy, which combines field recordings, piano, and percussion to reflect Southern California’s terrifyingly sublime expanse.
The second, at 9:00pm, captures the irreverent eclecticism of AMOC*, featuring the Company’s own members’ original works alongside pieces by Gabriela Ortiz, Fang Man, and Antonio Vivaldi. Influences as varied as ancient Roman history, Peking opera, Mexican folk music, and classical Italian poetry are unified by an attention to the rhythms of speech in song and the grooving rhythm of drums and percussion.
