Fresh Sound: Aiyun Huang & Eric Derr
1955 Julian Avenue, San Diego, 92113
Percussionists Aiyun Huang (Montreal) and Eric Derr (Philadelphia) join forces to present new ideas and pieces stemming from their unique approaches to their instrument. Aiyun will be playing a theatrical program featuring "Cooking with Aiyun" by Canadian composer Peter Hatch. This piece combines Aiyun's two passions of music and cooking, inspired by lives of Gertrude Stein and Julia Child. Eric will perform new compositions for drum set. From the swirling marbles of Carolyn Chen's "Great Birnam Wood" to relentless intensity of Patrick Hart's "700 Club", Eric is exploring new directions with the instrument that got him into music in the first place.
