Featuring the Kairos Percussion Quartet, the opening Encounters of the season compliments the first mainstage show of the season (Celebrating Steve Reich at 90) by featuring Reich’s “Mallet Quartet” (originally co-commissioned by Soundstreams) and “Nagoya Marimbas.” The program also includes Ann Southam’s “Glass House #5”, and “VV” by Juri Seo. “Nagoya Marimbas” is a fast-paced percussion duet frequently paired with contemporary ballet and modern choreography, and for this Encounters, renowned choreographer Heidi Strauss has crafted a world premiere solo dance piece for contemporary dance artist Aerin Cho that echoes the intricate specificity of the piece. This immersive Encounters will be performed in the round.

Founded in 2022, the Kairos Percussion Quartet (Bevis Ng, Nikki Huang, Thomas Li, and Andrew Busch) is an emerging performing arts ensemble based in Toronto, known for new music and unorthodox concert programming.

*Soundstreams’ TD Encounters is a free event series which always offers something different. These events are equal parts performance, artist discussion, and Q&A, and give audiences the opportunity to engage with artists and their work in an intimate and relaxed setting.
