Alvin Lucier & The Ever Present Orchestra

Last Event at Connecting Space Hong Kong

Date: 27 March
Time: 8pm

We are honoured to have Alvin Lucier, one of the most important representatives of American music of the second half of the twentieth century, and the Ever Present Orchestra, offering a world premier and the last concert at Connecting Space Hong Kong on 27 March at 8pm. The Ever Present Orchestra brings Lucier’s beating-pattern-focused instrumental music to the Hong Kong audience with its uncommon instrumentation of four electric guitars, three saxophones, four violins and piano. Along with classical musicians, the presence of prominent Lucier interpreters such as Oren Ambarchi, allows for the ensemble to appeal to a wider audience than the conventional contemporary music scene.
