Free music, on the roof
Line Upon Line percussion ensemble is taking to the roof for a free concert Saturday night.
Beginning at 8 p.m. the adventuresome bunch will stake out their myriad instruments — marimbas, vibraphones, crotales — on the fourth floor deck of UT’s Art Building at 23rd and San Jacinto streets which offers a great view of downtown Austin.
The program? Music by well-known contributors to the percussion canon — David Lang’s ‘The Anvil Chorus’ and Iannis Xenakis’ ‘Okho’ — along with a few new ‘compositions by Austin young composers. And Toru Takemitsu’s 1981 piece Rain Tree’ is scored for three musicians and lighting effects.
Watch out, grackles!
