Rhodri Davies – Four-Day Residency: Day One
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]Thrilled to present a very special four-day residency with harpist Rhodri Davies, an artist immersed in the worlds of improvisation, musical experimentation, composition and contemporary classical performance.
He plays harp, bray harp, horse-hair harp, electric harp, and builds wind, water, ice, dry ice and fire harp installations and has released eight solo albums.
"I am excited and honoured to be curating this four-day residency. I first played at Café Oto soon after it opened 17 years ago, and it is the venue that I have performed in the most.
Night 1 will feature compositions for harp written especially for me: works by artists associated with Fluxus, pioneering french composer Éliane Radigue and maverick composer Joseph Kudirka.
Night 2 will present two of my compositions – including one where the brilliant pianist Siwan Rhys performs a durational piece featuring all the Amen cadences from my father’s hymn book.
Night 3 will be a sounding of the early Welsh bray and horsehair harps.
Night 4 ends the residency with a re-visiting of material from my Wound Response album and a free improvisation." - Rhodri Davies
PROGRAMME:
Monday 17 March
- Joseph Kudirka: Kathryn of Birmingham
- Ben Patterson: Pages to Save our Planet
