Downtown
The Broad hosts a musical experience tonight at 8pm. GRAMMY-nominated orchestral collective Wild Up presents The Great Learning, Paragraphs 2 and 7, by Cornelius Cardew. A ritual of gathering in community through sound, Wild Up members and an ensemble of 30 pre-appointed non-musicians perform two sections of this monumental work in which voices and percussion unfold through listening and response.
Creating a vast field of resonance as well as play, Wild Up musicians will teach the work to a public ensemble. Thus learning through repetitions and echoes. Consequently, it will culminate in a performance where music becomes a shared space to embody collective creativity. Composed between 1968 and 1971, Cardew designed The Great Learning for a radically open ensemble. Hence blurring lines between trained musicians and also amateurs, grounding the piece in inclusivity, process, and duration.
The event takes place in conjunction with the exhibition Robert Therrien: This is a Story. While both works of art begin with simple materials, they ultimately complement each others creative vision. Event: 8-9pm; The Broad, 221 S. Grand Ave, LA 90012; https://www.thebroad.org
