Evolving musicians of all ages are asking themselves how the music they make might engage with, inform and respond to the lives they live. Or perhaps it’s the other way around: how does life respond to music? In his essay, The Externally Facing Artist, percussionist, conductor and author Steven Schick proposes three important relationships at the core of a healthy artistic practice: between an artist and the materials of their craft, between an artist and the natural world, and between an artist and their community. To unpack these ideas and crucial relationships, ANAM and Schick will combine forces in a residency of three performances in 2025.
In this final performance of the residency – Life – Schick will conduct a chamber music performance featuring contemporary compositions by Thorvaldóttir and Pisaro, alongside a chamber arrangement of Igor Stravinsky’s earth-shattering Rite of Spring and Olivier Messiaen’s stunning Couleurs de la Cité Celeste.
