VEN VOISEY
THREE TRAPPED TIGERS

VEN VOISEY is a sculptor, composer, and designer who currently splits his time between Oakland, CA and Wonder Valley (Twentynine Palms), CA. His work is informed by an attention to surroundings; he creates rituals, tools and circumstances as a means of exploring the relationship between internal and external space; between the spiritual and physical.

THREE TRAPPED TIGERS Recorder Duo (David Barnett and Tom Bickley) present Pilgrim songs from the 14th c. Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, selections from “Music for Every Occasion” by Alvin Curran, a ballade by 14th c. Italian Francesco Landini, a 13th c. aubade, Bickley’s Hibernian Cities/Hebridean Islands for alto recorder and electronics, and Medieval Nights for solo tenor recorder by Pete Rose. As the styles and periods juxtapose, with improvisation as a through line, the duo invites you to explore pre modern music for post modern ears and vice versa.

Cost: $10-$25 sliding scale
