Experience the captivating performance of Tatsuya Nakatani, an acclaimed avant-garde percussionist, composer, and sound artist, at ICA LIVE: Tatsuya Nakatani Gong Orchestra. This extraordinary event, taking place on November 10, 2023, at the prestigious VCU Institute for Contemporary Art in Richmond, promises an immersive musical journey like no other.

Hailing from the enchanting desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, Nakatani has been an influential figure on the international music scene since the 1990s. With over 80 recordings under his belt, Nakatani's talent knows no bounds as he mesmerizes audiences worldwide with more than 150 concerts annually. His solo work and the Nakatani Gong Orchestra, a visionary ensemble project, take center stage, showcasing his extraordinary expertise.

Nakatani's music is characterized by the melodic resonance of his adapted bowed gong, harmoniously accompanied by an array of drums, cymbals, and singing bowls. He meticulously crafts his sound through his personally hand-carved Kobo Bows, creating an intricate arrangement of vibrations that intertwine with layers of silence and texture. This contemporary exploration of sound gracefully incorporates the essence of traditional Japanese music, evoking a sense of dramatic pacing, elegant form, and spatial awareness.

For this exclusive ICA LIVE performance, Nakatani will be joined by 16 dedicated gong-playing volunteers, recruited from the vibrant Richmond community. Under the expert curation of David Riley, this event promises to be an unforgettable celebration of artistic expression and collaboration. Don't miss your chance to witness the transcendent power of Tatsuya Nakatani and immerse yourself in the transformative world of the Gong Orchestra. Admission is free, so mark your calendars and join us at the VCU Institute for Contemporary Art for an evening of unparalleled musical brilliance.
