Living Room Live: Keir GoGwilt, violin
Free (Free)
Keir GoGwilt, violin
Johann Paul von Westhoff – Partita No. 5 in D minor
Traditional Irish, arr. Keir Gogwilt & Celeste Oram – Craigie Hill
Keir GoGwilt is a violinist, poet, and musicologist, whose work spans a range of critical and creative disciplines. As a violinist he has been described as a "formidable performer" (The New York Times) noted for his "evocative sound" (London Jazz News), "keen musical intellect" (The Wire), and "finger-busting virtuosity" (San Diego Union Tribune). He is a founding member of the interdisciplinary performing arts company, AMOC, and he co-composes, improvises, and performs music with bassist Kyle Motl as part of their duo, Treesearch.
Both of this program's performances involve original poems by Keir and Christopher GoGwilt. The poems are written in "starling" form, which organizes the words on a gridded matrix of 27 spaces, giving the possibility of cyclical, reversible recitations. Christopher GoGwilt invented the form.
The livestream will take place at 6 PM BST / 10 AM Pacific
