TETRAKTIS PERCUSSIONI
“Playing with an empty can is fun for every self-respecting child.”
Objects often have more than one use. A bag can become a mask or a balloon, an empty can can be a ball or a maraca, a sheet of paper turns into an airplane.
Taking inspiration from this simple truth, we want to address a very current issue, such as the separate collection of waste, focusing on a particular topic that characterizes our research: SOUND.
We start from the concept that every material has its own sound. Each of us surely notices this when we go to throw empty bottles into the glass bin (just to evoke a sound that remains impressed). But it’s not just glass that sounds! Wood sounds, plastic sounds, paper sounds, iron sounds, and if we think about it, organic matter sounds too.
Percussionists know well that every material has its own sound: in the infinite percussion instrumentarium, there are instruments made from all possible materials (or almost). And every object can become an instrument on which to create RHYTHM.
The ever-growing attention of society towards the problem of waste, its excessive production, and the way to reuse it concerns all sectors of the economic and social fabric of all continents of the earth, but it is in the West that, at the beginning of the 20th century, people began to worry and seek political, economic, and cultural solutions to this problem.
On one side, politicians, scientists, and economists seek practical solutions, on the other, the world of education, philosophers, and artists with their works contribute to the development of a collective consciousness around the topic.
It is on the basis of these brief considerations and the attention to “sound” and “rhythm” that the idea of creating a project that addresses this topic from a musical point of view was born.
The project includes six sections distinguished by the materials used. The selected music comes from the modern and contemporary repertoire (Steve Reich, John Cage,) and from popular traditions of the world that use everyday objects as instruments.

Jeff Goldblum and The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra
Jeff Goldblum’s storied career now spans 6 decades of award-winning work as a starring actor in film, television and theater. An accomplished jazz pianist, Goldblum launched the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra 30 years ago. Since then, he and his band have performed for delighted audiences throughout the United States and all over the world playing contemporary arrangements of classic jazz and American songbook standards. The group has released numerous albums and singles, all with Decca Records, and have featured brilliant guest artists including Gregory Porter, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, Fiona Apple, Freda Payne, Haley Reinhart, Imelda May and more. MSO continues to record with new music on the way. As Goldblum has said, “Geez, I go totally crazy about sharing these groovy tunes but, I gotta tell ya, I get equally enchanted by the fascinating folks who turn up for the live experience!” So, for the record, he might get a little chatty. This performance will feature Goldblum on piano, John Storie on guitar, Alex Frank on bass, Joe Bagg on organ, Scott Gilman and James King on sax and Ryan Shaw on drums. The featured vocalist is Tawanda.
Guests at the September 20th performance will be treated to a delightful pre-show experience with Prosecco and passed hors d’oeuvres, ensuring everyone is part of this celebratory evening. For an even more exclusive experience, you can opt into a full Gala Evening, which includes both a pre-show and post-show reception with food and drinks, offering the perfect opportunity to mingle with fellow patrons and special guests.
