Music for Hard Times performed by The Living Earth Show
Watch with us tonight at 9pm!!
We are pleased to co-present the WORLD PREMIERE of Music for Hard Times, a film and album by composer Danny Clay, filmmaker Jon Fischer, and the guitar and percussion duo The Living Earth Show.
The Living Earth Show's Andy Meyerson explains, "Two days before SF's official shelter in place order went into effect, we began working with composer Danny Clay on an album/virtual production designed to examine a fundamental research question: 'is it possible for us to use the tools of our discipline--classical art music--to make people feel better?' The end result, a composition and film called Music for Hard Times, is designed to offer a sonic resource for comfort and calming, and is one of the most beautiful pieces we have been fortunate enough to perform."
Music for Hard Times is co-presented today by Living Music with Nadia Sirota, New Music Bay Area, and the Center for New Music. Future presentations of Music for Hard Times include San Francisco Performances, and UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.
