Metaxenakis – Kuniko Kato – Rebonds a.b.

Vancouver New Music Festival 2022
Metaxenakis
Celebrating the ideas and influence of Iannis Xenakis
October 23, 2022; 8pm

To celebrate the centennial anniversary of the life and the works of Iannis Xenakis world renowned percussion virtuoso Kuniko Kato from Japan programs his signature solo pieces in percussion (Psappha & Rebonds a. b. ).

“Kuniko passes this rite triumphantly. Her effortless, glitch-free technique and ability to manipulate mallets and sticks to seemingly coax melodies from non-melodic instruments are bound to humble aspiring and established percussionists alike.” – Gramophone

Kuniko Kato’s performance is supported in part by the Japan Foundation.
