Greatest Hits
At the Hand House, Elizabethtown, NY
Saturday, March 8 at 7:00 p.m.
Sunday, March 9 at 3:00 p.m.
Note: original February concerts rescheduled to March.
Ricochet Duoʼs ‘GREATEST HITS’ is a concert program for piano and percussion that will bring together works by a wide-range of living composers and explore the crossover between classical and contemporary styles.
This concert emphasizes rhythm and the incredible variety of interlocking piano and percussive sounds that will merge and creatively coalesce. Many of the works included were written in the last ten years and reflect the shifting trends in much of what we see and hear around us, and all the pieces explore the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of sonic and rhythmic possibilities. These fresh and carefully chosen compositions are sometimes percolating, sometimes wistful, and utilize myriad textures such as minimalist repetition, playful polyrhythms, bold dynamic contrast, and vibrant electronic colors to create their unique soundscapes.
Piano by Nature is looking forward to presenting both concerts at the beautiful Hand House and warmly invite you to join us for a memorable evening of music, refreshments, and post-concert conversation with our stunning artists.
Doors will open 30 minutes before the performance, and we recommend arriving early to avoid check-in lines. PBN requests a donation of $20 per concert ticket; $5 for children aged 15 and under or call and volunteer—we’ll offer free admission! Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Reservations are encouraged due to limited availability. You can reserve your spot via email at pianobynature@gmail.com or by phone at 518-962-8899. We look forward to seeing you there!
ABOUT RICOCHET DUO
Pianist Rose Chancler and percussionist Jane Boxall joined forces to form Ricochet Duo in 2008 after Rose advertised on Craigslist: “Seeking classical musicians for collaboration.” Jane, a UK expat, was living in Illinois but planning a move to Vermont and shortly thereafter the two began their collaboration with a concert on the Piano by Nature series in Elizabethtown, New York.
Ricochet Duo continues to be dedicated to celebrating the music of the 21st century and actively promotes the works of living composers. They have performed in numerous venues including Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Vermont’s Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, the Chautauqua Institution, Augsburg College, Eastman School of Music, Tribeca Performing Arts Center, and the Plattsburgh State University of New York. Ricochet Duo was also one of only nine music and dance ensembles performing on the New York State Artist Roster of 2015.
