Isolation Improvisation Collective Presents:
Grace Ferguson’s 'Dares to Claim the Sky'
Online Performance
Available from Thursday 19 November
To celebrate the release of the digital album/book, 'Telematic Music' through Nice Music, join the Isolation Improvisation Collective in premiering, 'Dares to Claim the Sky'.
This piece was written for the Isolation Improvisation Collective by Grace Ferguson and invites performers to reflect on Maya Angelou's poem 'Caged Bird' (1983). In the score for the piece, Ferguson writes,
'Melody and gesture are free to roam through tonal space as a painter is free to draw and paint free lines, free curves...'
