PROGRAM

Liza LIM Sex Magic (West Coast premiere)

In its West Coast premiere, Australian composer Liza Lim’s Density 2036 contribution “Sex Magic” for solo contrabass flute and electronics centers Friday afternoon. Inspired by Claire Chase’s towering contrabass flute (Bertha), “Sex Magic” evokes and celebrates women’s power across time and cultures, evoking the giant bass flutes of Papua New Guinea and the Australian didgeridoo in a work that ritually moves across three altars, creating a mystical, mesmerizing evocation of both the present and the timeless past.
