Nic Gerpe performs Jettatura in Los Angeles

Road Trip

Few experiences are as exciting, liberating, relaxing, anxiety-inducing, meditative, lonely, and free as the feel of the open road. All of our journeys have a different purpose and destination –  to seek solitude, to get to nature, to seek new paths, to find ourselves, or for the pure thrill and joy of the ride.

This program will feature pieces which evoke all elements of a journey – Timo Andres‘ rollicking and rolling “At the River,” the (mis)adventures of John Psathas‘ “Jettatura,” Juhi Bansal‘s fantastic evocation of the Utah night sky in “Land of Waking Dreams,” Dante De Silva‘s picturesque and autobiographical “Drive-Thru Etudes,” and the wide-open spaces of Aaron Copland‘s Piano Sonata. The concert will also feature a World Premiere of Tonia Ko‘s newest work, commissioned by Nic Gerpe and Piano Spheres.
